Warner Bros. has picked up film rights to Beautiful Creatures, the first of a five-novel series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, and set Richard LaGravenese to write the script and direct the film.

According to Variety, the story centers on high-school student Ethan Wate who meets and becomes bewitched by Lena Duchannes, a 16-year-old whose family has moved to the small South Carolina town where he lives. The two must confront a curse that has haunted her family for generations as she comes to grips with her powers.

"I love supernatural stories that have well-drawn mythologies, and I liked that this book has all the basic elements of a classic first love story with a supernatural layer over it," LaGravenese said. "So the first time they hear the words 'boyfriend' and 'girlfriend,' they accidentally overhear each other telepathically. Their first kiss comes after he saves her life, and their first date is part of a bigger adventure that leads to the unraveling of the mysterious curse that haunts her family."

No production date was announced.
