According to Deadline’s exclusive announcement of the project Joey King has been a fan of the books for years. And we’re a fan of hers, so it’s a win-win situation!

Now I know what you’re thinking, “who?” You might not know his name, but you know his work. Not only has he directed both Charlie’s Angels movies from the early 2ooos but he also directed the pilot to a little-known TV show called The Shadowhunters. So yea, we’re excited!
