Material Entertainment has scarped up the film rights to John Drake’s novel “Flint & Silver.” The work is a prequel to the famous Robert Louis Stevenson tale “Treasure Island.” HarperCollins will publish the novel later in 2008.
“Flint & Silver” goes into the rivalry between Captain Flint and John Silver. Their hatred and animosity for one another eventually led to the Stevenson classic.
The London based production company has already approached several writers to adapt the screenplay and is actively seeking its cast and crew.
