Screwtape coming to film

Walden Media, the studio behind The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, is joining forces with a well-known Christian in Hollywood, Ralph Winter, who produced X-Men and Fantastic Four, for a big-screen adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters.

The film, described as “midbudget,” is slated for a 2008 release. Lewis’ stepson Douglas Gresham supervised the Wardrobe production and will produce with Winter.

The Screwtape Letters was first published in 1942. Variety reported HarperSanFrancisco has sold almost 1 million copies of the trade paperback alone since taking over its publishing in 2001.
