According to the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. Pictures has pre-emptively bought the rights to an upcoming children's novel HERE, THERE BE DRAGONS.
The novel, written by James A. Owen, brings together three strangers -- John, Jack and Charles -- in London during World War I, where they become entrusted with the Imaginarium Geographica, an atlas of all the lands that have ever existed in myth and legend, fable and fairy tale. They end up traveling to the Archipelago of Dreams, fighting the dark forces that threaten two worlds. It is later revealed that the three are future fantasy authors J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Charles Williams, who met in real life at Oxford and enjoyed a competitive friendship.
Simon & Schuster will release 100,000 copies of the book in hardcover next week. David Heyman and David Goyer are slated to produce.

Interesting premise for the film.
You know, it would have been fascinating to be in that room where Tolkien, Lewis, and Williams hung out. Just to hear them speak of their ideas and devote themselves to their craft. hmmm...
