Denver and Paonia author Peter Heller says he's often been moved to tears seeing his 2012 novel “The Dog Stars” turned into a major motion picture. Jacob Elordi stars and Ridley Scott directed. Heller discusses the ‘transmogrification” with Ryan Warner at the Denver Press Club. 

Och mat 89 Joer ass de Ridley Scott, Realisateur vun “Alien” oder “Blade Runner”, nach fit genuch, fir Filmer ze dréinen. “The Dog Stars”, eng Adaptéierung vun engem Roman vum Peter Heller, huet mam Jacob Elordi, Margaret Qualley, Josh Brolin a Guy Pearce een Top-Cast. Wéi gutt dem Scott säi postapokalytpesche Film ass, dat verroden iech d'Vesna Andonovic an de Jeff Schinker an hirer Filmkritik.

In this episode, we review the 2026 post apocalyptic science fiction film, directed by Ridley Scott and based on the 2012 novel of the same name by Peter Heller, starring Jacob Elordi & Josh Brolin titled The Dog Stars. We discuss whether Jacob Elordi is becoming a movie star in his own right, and we debate whether audiences are beginning to experience dog fatigue in films.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Directed by Ridley Scott and adapted from Peter Heller's acclaimed novel, The Dog Stars takes us to a desolate Colorado in 2035. Jacob Elordi stars as Hig, a civilian pilot living on an abandoned airstrip with a survivalist ex-Marine named Bangley (Josh Brolin). When a stray radio transmission sparks a glimmer of hope beyond their fenced-in reality, Hig risks everything to fly out into the unknown. Fun Flix Fact: Ridley Scott shot much of the film's sweeping exterior sequences on location in Italy, cleverly using the Mediterranean landscape to stand in for the rugged American West. Fun Flix Fact: The canine companion Jasper was played by multiple Belgian Malinois trained specifically to match Jacob Elordi's easygoing cockpit demeanor during the intimate flight scenes. The supernatural horror juggernaut returns with its sixth installment, directed by Jacob Chase. Insidious: Into The Further follows a young mother named Gemma (Amelia Eve) who discovers a terrifying new facet of the purgatorial realm: she doesn't just enter The Further—she has the terrifying ability to bring its malevolent spirits back into the living world. Franchise staple Lin Shaye also returns to guide the terror. Fun Flix Fact: To achieve the signature, eerie look of The Further without relying entirely on digital effects, the production crew built rotating, inverted hallway sets that disoriented the actors in real-time. Fun Flix Fact: The film's primary antagonist, a cult leader trapped in the astral plane, was designed using physical prosthetics that took over six hours to apply daily. Action icon Jason Statham is back in top form in Mutiny, directed by Jean-François Richet. Statham plays Cole Reed, a private security bodyguard who is framed for the assassination of his billionaire employer. Forced to go on the run, Reed stows away on a massive cargo ship, only to stumble upon a vast human trafficking conspiracy that he has to dismantle one punch at a time. Fun Flix Fact: Jason Statham performed the vast majority of his own stunt work during the intense, cramped container-ship brawl scenes, collaborating closely with director Jean-François Richet to keep the choreography raw and grounded. Fun Flix Fact: The production utilized a decommissioned cargo vessel docked in Southeast Asia, giving the film an authentic, claustrophobic industrial grit that soundstages simply cannot replicate. To mark a decade and a half since Steven Soderbergh's chillingly prescient medical thriller hit cinemas, we are looking back at Contagion (2011). From its all-star ensemble cast to its hyper-realistic depiction of a global pandemic spreading through fomites and panic, it remains one of the smartest studio thrillers ever made. For our Hidden Gem this week, we are shining a light on Jane Schoenbrun's mind-bending, surrealist slasher Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. Starring Hannah Einbinder as a young filmmaker hired to reboot a flagging slasher franchise, the film spirals into a hypnotic, queer Gothic romance when she becomes obsessed with finding the franchise's reclusive original "final girl," played brilliantly by Gillian Anderson. And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Hit that subscribe button right now so you never miss an episode of The Flixters! We're here every week to bring you the best reviews, the wildest facts, and the greatest cinema talk in the business. 00:00 Intro 02:04 Shoutouts03:42 Movie News8:17 New on Streaming13:02 New Trailers22:13 Anniversary Corner24:53 The Dog Stars Review33:25 Insidious: Into The Further review44:10 Mutiny Review48:43 Hidden Gem Review57:10 Outro This episode is proudly sponsored by Zencastr. Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastr

Abu and Obssa begin their read-through of The Dog Stars by Peter Heller. They dig into the odd-couple partnership between the poetic, dog-loving Hig and his cold-blooded neighbor Bangley, Heller's stripped-down, punctuation-free prose style, and the quiet question sitting under the whole book: what's actually worth surviving for. IN THIS EPISODE How chapter five's chewing-out from Bangley reveals a surprisingly protective, tactical mind underneath the gruffness Peter Heller's own life as an adventure writer, from a doomed Tibet expedition to owning the same model Cessna Hig flies The upcoming Ridley Scott adaptation, its cast (Jacob Elordi as Hig, Josh Brolin as Bangley), and its August 28 release date JOIN THE CLUB Bookmark the reading schedule: sfbc.netlify.app/schedule Join the conversation in our free Discord: discord.gg/bVrhwWm7j4 Get bonus content: patreon.com/scifibookclubpod Watch video episodes and clips: youtube.com/@loreparty Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Sam is back from Minneapolis, which just so happens to be the home turf for our first author (they didn't meet up, sadly), who never gave up on his dreams and made a hell of a book happen — is he the Ted Lasso of sportswriters?!? Hannah thinks so. Meanwhile, Sam cranked through a couple backlist titles, trying to get further into the Peter Heller and Amor Towles oeuvres and knock off some of the TBR pile. These dudes can write! Finally, "Dolly All the Time" is not about Dolly Parton, but Hannah thinks you should give it a chance regardless, especially if you're a middle-aged woman. This fortnight, we read: "Relegated," by Todd Smith "Celine," by Peter Heller "Dolly All the Time," by Annabel Monaghan "A Gentleman in Moscow," by Amor Towles What sound effects did we give each of these books? You'll just have to listen and find out!

President Trump has made it clear: He has beef with Colorado, from his ire over the presidential portrait that once hung in the State Capitol to mail-in balloting to immigration policy. We delve into that with Purplish. Then, long before the COVID pandemic, novelist Peter Heller imagined a world wiped out by a virus, and some lonely Colorado survivors, in his debut novel, "The Dog Star" in 2012. Now it's headed to the big screen. 

Deutschlands Kanzler Merz will weg von der Windkraft hin zur Kernfusion, aber ist das nicht ferne Zukunftsmusik? Über den aktuellen Stand der Technik berichtet der Astrophysiker Dr. Peter Heller. Thüringens Ministerpräsident Mario Voigt hat seinen Doktortitel verloren, jetzt will der CDU-Politiker gegen die Entscheidung klagen. Die Erfolgsaussichten sind dabei allerdings gering und politisches Kalkül, sagt der Rechtswissenschaftler Prof. Volker Boehme-Neßler. Die Allgemeinmedizinerin Dr. Monika Jiang befreite Tausende Menschen per Attest von der Maskenpflicht und spürt dafür nun die volle Härte der Justiz. Über die Lage kritischer Ärzte in Deutschland steht uns Frau Jiang Rede und Antwort. Und Thomas Hartung kommentiert die Demontage der deutschen Sprache durch Gender-Vorschriften, die immer absurdere Formen annimmt.

Peter Heller - Big Love - Joe Nardi Remix by NAW-T-BOY

Part 1 of 2 Throwback to a Pre-Pandemic podcast! Pete has some big news on the radar … The New York Times bestselling novelist, award-winning adventure writer, and journalist, Peter Heller, spoke with me about his early life as a starving poet, breaking into journalism, how he makes things up for a living, and what it's like to be compared to your heroes. Peter is a longtime contributor to NPR, and a former contributing editor at Outside Magazine, Men's Journal, and National Geographic Adventure. He received an MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop in fiction and poetry, is the author of four nonfiction books, and winner of the National Outdoor Book Award for Literature. Heller is also a notable bestselling author of a half-dozen novels including The Dog Stars – a lauded breakout bestseller, now published in 22 languages – The Painter, and Celine (a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize that won the prestigious Reading the West Book Award, shared in the past by Western writer Cormac McCarthy). His latest novel, and Edgar Award Nominee, The River, has been called a "... heart-pounding survival story of .... two college students on a wilderness canoe trip – [and] a gripping tale of a friendship tested by fire, white water, and violence." The New York Times called The River, “[A] modern-day survival tale .... [with] the urgency of a thriller.” [This episode is sponsored by Ulysses.

This month marks ten full years of my bimonthly book-recommendations project—a decade of weird little paragraphs about the books that grab my scattered attention. Whether you've been here since the beginning or signed up five minutes ago, thank you. I'm still baffled anyone reads these things, but I'm grateful all the same. To mark the occasion, I recorded a late-night solo episode from The Shed, diving deeper into each of my September & October picks: why I chose them, what stayed with me, and the sometimes-unexpected lessons I gleaned from each of them. Or you could just describe it as a guy sitting in his garden shed talking to himself. Your choice. You can read all of the recommendations here, or, if you're clamoring to receive more emails, you can sign up for the list here.

“If non-profits cannot figure out why their important, just like pack up, go home, and do something else” In this episode, host Simone Sloan and co-host Rich Bachelor from Your Choice Coach welcome Peter Heller, Founder of HellerFundraising Group, to discuss nonprofit fundraising strategies and capital campaigns. Peter shares insights fromover 30 years of experience and 20 years leading his firm.  The conversation explores the importance of relationship-building over technology, the power of community-focused storytelling, and the six essential elements of successful capital campaigns. Peter emphasizes thateffective fundraising requires overcoming limiting beliefs, understanding donor metrics, and crafting narrativesthat focus on the community's future rather than the organization itself. Key TakeawaysSuccessful capital campaigns require six aligned elements: dollar goal, story, donors, committee/leadership, staffing and systems, and timingThe most powerful fundraising stories focus on the community served and its future, not on the organization or the donor Relationship-building remains the cornerstone of fundraising success, regardless of economic conditions or technological advances like AIMetrics matter: tracking one-on-one donor meetings per month can generate significant fundraising results when combined with proper follow-upLimiting beliefs and organizational low self-esteem are the biggest pitfalls in fundraising - nonprofits must clearly articulate why they are important to succeedFeasibility studies serve as essential on-ramps for campaigns, taking about five months to train staff, interview donors, and establish campaign foundationsEffective fundraising is about teaching organizations to "fish” build their own capacity, rather than doing the work for themEven well-connected leaders in membership organizations must intentionally deepen relationships through focused conversations about mission and donor interests

Featuring speakers Betsy Carlton-Gyson, Peter Heller, and Betsy Leondar-Wright Worship service given October 26, 2025 Prayer by David Whitford, Worship Associate https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 Join us for our special annual Living our Faith service! Hear from three brilliant First Parish members about their activism and spirituality: Betsy Carlton-Gyson, Peter Heller, and Betsy Leondar-Wright. Offering and Giving First The Giving First program donates 50% of the non-pledge offering each month to a charitable organization that we feel is consistent with Unitarian Universalist principles. The program began in November 2009, and First Parish has donated over $200,000 to more than 70 organizations. For October, The Record Company (TRC) will share half the plate. Since 2012, The Record Co. (TRC) has been the heartbeat of Boston's music community. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, they've grown from a single recording studio into Boston's largest provider of affordable creative space, operating both their original Mass Ave facility and their 90-room Morrissey Boulevard location. Their facilities serve over 400 active bands and creative professionals, making them more than just a space — they are a catalyst for Boston's creative community.

The remaining half of your offering supports the life and work of this Parish. To donate using your smartphone, you may text "fpuu" to 73256. Then follow the directions in the texts you receive.

That's right, folks. This is the last episode of "John Updike's Ghost"! But not to worry! We'll be launching a new podcast very soon! What's the name? What will it be about? When will it launch? We're not telling you yet! Until that amazing day comes, you'll just have to listen to us talk about the books we've read recently, such as: - "Sisters in the Wind," by Angeline Boulley, which is in the same universe as "Firekeeper's Daughter" and "Warrior Girl Unearthed," and it is just as good. Angeline just keeps cranking them out.  - "The Guide," by Peter Heller, which is the follow-on to "The River," and features much of the same brilliant nature writing, if maybe a little less "realistic." It's not as good as "The River," but that's not saying it's not great.  - "The Frozen People," by Elly Griffiths, which starts a brand-new series and has time travel, but not the sci-fi sort of time travel, just the plot-device kind of time travel. If you like Elly's mysteries, you'll love this. - "So Far Gone," by Jess Walter, which is very much a novel of our moment, exploring what happens when your daughter marries a hardcore Christian nationalist. But it's also really funny and not too politically heavy.  - "Help Wanted," by Adelle Waldman, which is a working-class novel about employees in a box-store warehouse and the pecking order that becomes clear when the boss announces he's leaving. Hannah liked it.  And then we thank everyone and say goodbye. We'll be back, but ta-ta for now. 

In Episode 202, Susie (@NovelVisits) and Sarah explore some of their new favorite Micro Genres.

In a climate charged with political unpredictability, donor hesitancy, and organizational fatigue, Peter Heller, CEO and Founder of Heller Fundraising Group, returns to offer clear-headed perspective on what nonprofits should be doing now—not later. Drawing from decades of experience in higher education and over 20 years guiding capital campaigns and feasibility studies, Peter brings both context and calm to a sector feeling increasingly unsettled.Fundraising is never easy, Peter reminds us. But right now, it's especially daunting. Some organizations are facing existential uncertainty, while others are tempted to pull back entirely. “Even if we stopped talking right now,” Peter says, “and people went away with this one idea: wake up in the morning and believe that you and your nonprofit deserve that money—that mindset alone can shift your entire trajectory.”Throughout the conversation, Peter offers a compelling blend of strategic realism and aspirational leadership. His guidance is rooted in both emotional alignment and actionable frameworks: acknowledge the difficulty, reaffirm your mission, and keep going. He warns against reactive messaging rooted in fleeting political tides and instead urges organizations to craft campaigns around timeless, hopeful visions that inspire long-term support.One of the episode's most striking moments comes when Peter recounts the Ossining Children's Center's $18 million capital campaign. Despite losing their board presidents, navigating the death of a lead donor, and facing pandemic-related hurdles, they built a beautiful childcare facility now serving a vibrant, diverse community. It's not just a story of resilience—it's a blueprint for bold action in the face of fear.Julia Patrick (Show host) and Peter explore why now is precisely the moment for brave leadership—especially from boards. They discuss the board dynamics that can either stall or accelerate progress, and why it's okay if those unwilling to commit step aside. As Peter puts it, “You need a core group who believe—and aren't just dreaming, but working toward something achievable.”This thoughtful dialog challenges the nonprofit sector to step into its power, maintain donor relationships through both silence and conversation, and embrace mission-driven fundraising as a moral imperative rather than a burdensome chore. Whether you're in the middle of a campaign, contemplating one, or simply trying to stay upright, this conversation offers clarity, encouragement, and a seasoned perspective on how to move forward with confidence.Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

"We paddled out to the first net, and there were 12 pilot whales huddled up against it, completely traumatized because they could hear the other 40 members of their pod being massacred yards away. They were screaming. I remember a little baby pilot whale breached and stuck her head out to look at us with curiosity. I took as a request - a sacred compact to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves…to try and give voice to the other species on this planet that can't defend themselves." The Japanese government once issued an arrest warrant for novelist Peter Heller for his role in the Academy Award-winning documentary The Cove. The crime? Paddling surfboards into a small bay, where local fishermen were actively killing pilot whales, to protest the slaughter. But this is just one piece of Peter's story.  He's an expert expedition kayaker, journalist and adventure writer. On top of all that he happens to be one of my heroes! We featured Peter in a signature episode last year called ‘ADVENTURE: Whale Warriors and Eco-Pirates: Patrolling the Southern Ocean with Best-Selling Author Peter Heller,' where he joined an eco-pirate ship to take on whaling fleets. It's an incredibly moving tale that he describes beautifully. But in this episode for our CONNECTION series, we're diving deeper and getting stuck into the rest of his story.  We'll talk about Hemingway and living in a teepee as a kid, Soviet kayakers and well-earned vodka, bigfoot pranks, tragedy on training runs, unexplored Tibetan rivers, and infiltrating a secret cove.  So without further ado, here's my full conversation with Peter Heller. CONNECT WITH PETER HELLER Peter's novels transport you to wild and beautiful places, whilst keeping you page-turning on the edge of your seat.

Hello Libration Nation! I'm thrilled to welcome Sarah Glenn Marsh to this week's episode as we uncover the wonders of "The Last Ranger" by Peter Heller. A thrilling exploration of nature's beauty and human empathy, this book will keep you on the edge of your seat. And we've paired it with the citrusy and daring Lone Ranger cocktail—tequila, lemon, and a hint of rose—capturing the essence of adventure. Sarah Glenn Marsh has been an avid fantasy reader since the day her dad handed her a copy of The Hobbit and promised it would change her life. She believes we all deserve happy endings and is an author of books for everyone, including many young adult, middle grade, and picture book titles. She lives in Richmond, Virginia with her family, including one sweet daughter, one slightly dull sword, and the chaos of many pets, like a turtle named Muffin who she definitely did not bring back from any haunted swamp. We Could Be (Anti)heroes is her first adult novel and will be coming out Spring 2026. And hey, before you go—if you're loving Drinks in the Library, can you do me a favor? Drop a quick review, hit us with some stars, and most importantly, tell two friends this week. Sharing is caring, and it helps us keep the good times rolling.

GET YOUR MULTIVERSE NEWS MERCH HERE:https://multiverse-news-shop.fourthwall.com/Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesCaptain America: Brave New World premiered globally last week, soaring to the top of the Valentine's and President's Day weekend box office with a $192.4 million haul in tow. The Anthony Mackie-led vehicle, which is the fourth Captain America film and 35th MCU film overall, managed to exceed somewhat meager box office projections, however, its reception with both critics and audiences isn't as definitive a victory. The film is currently sitting at 51% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has earned a B- CinemaScore, which is among some franchise lows for Marvel.According to exclusive reports from Deadline, the Mike Flanagan-penned, solo Clayface film seems to be on track to meet its targeted September 2026 release, with DC leadership set to hear pitches from potential filmmakers next week. Two noteworthy names rising to the top as candidates to helm the rumored horror-tragedy include Speak No Evil's James Watkins and Truth or Dare's Jeff Wadlow – with the expectation that casting will quickly follow suit once a director is locked-in. James Gunn has described the film as a DCU project, but it is still unclear whether it will connect to any existing projects or continuity. Christopher Nolan's next film for Universal, The Odyssey, has assembled an understandably stacked cast that includes the likes of Tom Holland, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o and Jon Bernthal to name a few; now Mia Goth has joined the cast in an undisclosed role, while Matt Damon's role has finally officially been revealed to the title of role of Odysseus as announced via a photo shared from the film's X account. The retelling of Homer's epic poem is slated for a July 17, 2026 release. Universal has debuted the first full trailer for the live action remake of How To Train Your Dragon ahead of its June 13 release.Hulu released a first-look teaser for the final season of The Handmaid's Tale, premiering with three episodes on April 8, followed by weekly releases until the May 27 finale. Meanwhile, the sequel series The Testaments has cast Chase Infiniti to star alongside returning Handmaid's Tale veteran Ann Dowd.Six-time Emmy winner John Lithgow is in final negotiations to portray Professor Albus Dumbledore in HBO‘s high-profile series adaptation of the Harry Potter books, sources tell Deadline.Ridley Scott's dystopian thriller The Dog Stars is adding to its cast, with Margaret Qualley, Josh Brolin, and Guy Pearce in final talks to join Jacob Elordi. Written by Mark L. Smith, the film adapts Peter Heller's 2012 apocalyptic novel for 20th Century Studios.Prime Video has confirmed The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power for a third season, set to film this spring. The new season will feature a major time jump, unfolding during the height of the War of the Elves and Sauron as the Dark Lord forges the One Ring.Peacock has released the first teaser trailer for season 2 of Twisted Metal, starring Anthony Mackie. The series will return this summer.Deadline's sources say Netflix is developing a live-action Dungeons & Dragons series titled The Forgotten Realms. Shawn Levy, Hasbro Entertainment, and showrunner Dave Crevello are producing the project.Warner Bros. has hired Potsy Ponciroli to write a sequel to the 1985 film The Goonies, with Steven Spielberg and Chris Columbus returning as producers. The project has no director attached yet.Deadline has learned that Denis Villeneuve is currently planning to film Dune 3 this summer and a team has been in pre-production on the film for quite some time. The trade also confirmed that the third film will adapt Frank Herbert's sequel novel Dune: Messiah and will complete Paul Atreides' story.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes Last week, The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Jason Momoa, the actor who famously played the title role in the billion-dollar grossing Aquaman film, has signed on to portray the character Lobo in the upcoming DC Studios film, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Momoa, no stranger to Warner Bros or DC, has long been campaigning for the role of the intergalactic biker bounty hunter who first debuted in comics in 1983. Elsewhere, filmmaker Matt Reeves, broke his silence on The Batman II delay situation while attending the Golden Globes this weekend, saying, “I can tell you that we'll be shooting this year. We're doing something where the story continues from, but I hope that people will be surprised by.” During a recent interview with GQ, Andrew Garfield, the Amazing Spider-Man himself, dispelled rumors that he has signed on to reprise his role in the upcoming fourth Marvel Studios' Tom Holland-led Spider-Man film. Ever self-aware, the actor acknowledged the weight his objections hold, given his track record, having been in the exact situation prior to No Way Home's release, saying, “I'm gonna disappoint you - Yeah, no. But I know no one's gonna trust anything I say from now on.”  We might be light on Marvel news this week, but Sunday evening's 82nd Golden Globes Awards ceremony saw many an MCU friend and foe in attendance. Kathryn Hahn was nominated for her role in Agatha All Along, Sebastian Stan was twice nominated and won once, and Captain America Brave New World stars, Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford took the stage to present an award, as did MCU alumni Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum. Now that you got your Marvel fix, let's talk about some winners and snubs: on the TV side of things, the winners circle featured usual suspects – FX's Shogun and The Bear, still being awarded as a comedy despite the protests, Max's Hacks, and newcomer Baby Reindeer from Netflix snagging a couple of wins. Also worthy of note: Colin Farrell, narrowly avoiding a snub, took home the sole award for HBO's The Penguin. Netflix and A24 ruled the evening as far as film is concerned, with Emilia Perez and The Brutalist being highly awarded, although Wicked refused to be relegated to the sidelines, taking home the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement Award. Disney's Mufasa: The Lion King led the first weekend of the new year with $23.8 million domestically, reaching $476.4 million globally. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 followed closely with $21.2 million in the U.S. and a worldwide total of $336.3 million. Tom Holland and Zendaya are engaged – as revealed by the ring she wore during the Golden Globes Red Carpet Peacock is developing a film reboot of the 2011 NBC series Grimm, with Drop Dead Diva creator Josh Berman writing and executive producing alongside the original show's co-creators and showrunners. HBO has released a new short teaser trailer for The Last of Us season 2 and confirmed that the series will begin streaming in April. Sony has announced a movie adaptation of Horizon Zero Dawn in collaboration with PlayStation Studios and Columbia Pictures, the studio behind 2022's Uncharted. While no release date has been set, the film will bring Guerrilla Games' post-apocalyptic adventure starring machine hunter Aloy to the big screen. Jacob Elordi is in early negotiations to replace Paul Mescal in Ridley Scott's The Dog Stars. Mark L. Smith and Christopher Wilkinson wrote the script for the 20th Century Studios film, which adapts Peter Heller's 2012 apocalyptic novel of the same name. Disney+ has greenlit a pilot for a TV series adaptation of Louis Sachar's beloved novel "Holes." The project follows in the footsteps of Disney's 2003 film version of the book, though no further details about the potential series have been revealed yet.
