Deadline has revealed that Sony Pictures has snapped up the rights to Action Lab Comics’ Princeless comic book series, and has set Michael Sugar (Spotlight) to produce a movie adaptation, with Stefani Robinson (Atlanta) penning the script.
The Eisner-nominated comic book series from Jeremy Whitley and Emily Martin “follows a young black princess who, instead of waiting for a prince to save her, takes matters into her own hands. She breaks out of her tower, befriends the dragon guarding her, and sets off on a quest to rescue her six older sisters who are also locked in towers and guarded by assassins.”
