Hey there! Guess what? I can hardly contain my excitement as I’ve just learned that a TV series based on the captivating novel “Holes” by Louis Sachar is being developed for Disney+. Remember the 2003 film adaptation from Walt Disney Pictures, starring Shia LeBeouf, Sigourney Weaver, and Jon Voight? Well, it seems they’re giving this classic a new lease of life on the small screen!
Alina Mankin, known for her work in “Lodge 49” and “Katy Keene,” is penning the script and serving as an executive producer. Liz Phang, who has worked on shows like “90210” and “Yellowjackets,” will be at the helm as showrunner for this potential series. Additionally, Drew Goddard from “The Good Place” and “Marvel’s Daredevil” is also involved in the project, working with Disney’s 20th Television. This exciting news was first reported by Variety! Can’t wait to see how they bring this beloved story to life on TV!
In this modern retelling of Louis Sachar’s 1998 classic novel, a young girl finds herself at a harsh detention facility. The tyrannical warden makes the inmates dig trenches for an unknown reason.
The award-winning book and movie feature Stanley Yelnats IV, a boy who finds himself at Camp Green Lake, a former Texas lake now a barren desert, due to a family curse tied to his great-great-grandfather’s pig theft. Despite being innocent of the crime, he’s sent there after being wrongly convicted, and this story follows his journey.
Known among his peers as “Caveman,” a diverse group consisting of Zero, Squid, X-Ray, Magnet, Armpit, and Zigzag – Stanley and his companions were instructed by the Warden to enhance their personalities by excavating pits five feet deep and five feet wide. It didn’t take long for Stanley to realize that the Warden, alongside the harsh Mr. Sir and camp supervisor Mr. Pendanski, were on a hunt for something – something previously owned by the notorious outlaw known as Kissin’ Kate Barlow.
For her entire career, my mom has been a dedicated schoolteacher. In essence, she has acted as an unofficial literary scout for Goddard Textiles. As she is always aware of the latest trends among students, she was the one who recommended ‘Holes’ to me in the late 90s, predicting it would become a sensation. It’s rewarding to see this book come full circle and connect with my mom and her sixth-grade class once more.
Goddard commended Mankin, known for her work on shows like “The Mindy Project” and “Anne with an E”, as well as Phang, a writer-producer on “Foundation”, “Colony”, “Locke & Key”, “The Haunting of Hill House”, “The Strain” novel adaptation, for skillfully portraying Louis Sachar’s distinctive essence. Revealing any more about what they have planned would ruin the surprise.
