McG’s Wonderland Sound & Vision and Red Crown Prods. have announced that they are adapting “School of Fear” for the big screen. The children’s book series was written by Gitty Daneshvari. McG will be producing the adaptation and will be looking for a director.

The first book in the trilogy was published in 2010 and follows four children, all suffering from phobias, who are sent to the exclusive yet secretive school where they conquer their fears and survive a perilous final test.

Graham King acquired the movie feature rights to “School of Fear” back in 2007 before it had been published. However, the rights lapsed and Red Crown picked up the project. They later brought the project to Wonderland and McG.

It was also announced that Mary Viola and Scott Fischer will produce for Wonderland with Daniela Taplin Lundberg, Daniel Crown and Riva Marker producing for Red Crown. Mike Saunders and Daneshvari will executive produce.

“We’re a bunch neurotic New Yorkers so Gitty’s story really resonated with us,” Marker told Variety. “We get a ton of submissions but we think this has franchise potential.”

Daniel Mackey is set to write the script. He recently wrote the second season of Wonderland’s “Aim High” series.

There is no word on a project release date or who will be directing the project.
