Jenna Bush Hager Developing The Feather Thief Series Adaptation
Jenna Bush Hager and Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group, have teamed with Kirk Wallace Johnson to develop a series adaptation of Johnson’s true-crime book The Feather Thief. Johnson will write the adaptation, and Ben Spector will executive produce on behalf of Hager’s production company. “This book – like the birds, rogues, and adventurers at the heart of it – has had an astonishing life, and, thanks to exuberant readers, continues to find a wide audience,” said Johnson. “I’m honored for the opportunity to helm the adaptation with such a great team – their passion for this project was so overwhelming that it made me feel as though I was discovering the story for the first time.”
