BOOM! Studios has announced that their series Lumberjanes has been optioned by 20th Century Fox to bring the comic series to the screen as a live-action movie. BOOM! Studios will produce the film, led by Founder and Chief Executive Officer Ross Richie and President of Development Stephen Christy. Senior Vice President of Film Adam Yoelin will co-produce.

The Eisner and GLAAD Media Award-nominated Lumberjanes was co-created by BOOM! Studios Editor Shannon Watters, Grace Ellis, and New York Times Best Selling web cartoonist Noelle Stevenson, with main series artist Brooke Allen. The series focuses on five, rad, butt-kicking best pals determined to have an awesome summer together…and they’re not going to let a magical quest or an array of supernatural critters get in their way! As part of BOOM!’s partnership model, the creators will share equally in all aspects of the publisher’s first-look deal with Fox.

The news has caused the first trade paperback of the series to sell out again, sending it into a fifth printing. So far over 65,000 copies of the trade have been sold.
