David Rothenberg has been hired to adapt the book ‘City of the Beasts’ into a movie by Walden Media. Variety reports that he’ll also co-produce the film along with ‘Lord of the Rings’ producer Barry Osborne.

The novel is the first in a trilogy of books and involves an Amazon rainforest kidnapping as it follows the adventures of two sisters (aged 15 and 12) who discover the mythical city of El Dorado and the “People of the Mist”. The next two books in the series are named “Kingdom of the Golden Dragon” and “Forest of the Pygmies”.

Walden Media has partnered with the book’s publisher Harper Collins before. They’re responsible for the fall’s monster fantasy hit ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’.
