Miramax & Disney reunite to develop ARTEMIS FOWL

The young adult fantasy book series ARTEMIS FOWL is about the adventures of a 12-year-old criminal mastermind who kidnaps a fairy in order to harness its magic to save his family. This book series currently spans eight novels. Miramax has since been trying to develop it into a film ever since the company has acquired rights for the book back in 2001. Now, Miramax has reunited with Disney to bring ARTEMIS FOWL to the big screen, hoping it could spawn a new fantasy movie franchise the way Harry Potter did.
