Angel Studios, through an agreement with Haven Films will produce, develop and distribute the motion picture adaptation of Fablehaven, based on the best-selling fantasy book series by Brandon Mull, with focus on the first novel.
The film adaptation is in the early stages of pre-production and is preparing to begin shooting late in the summer of 2025, slated for a 2026 release.
“The Fablehaven books have been a favorite series for myself and all of my kids, and so I was not surprised when the Angel Guild responded so enthusiastically to their torch,” Jordan Harmon, President of Angel Studios, said. “We are thrilled to bring to the big screen these incredible stories that promise to delight families, and inspire viewers of all ages.”
The film, directed by Cameron Sawyer (Tim Timmerman: Hope of America), will introduce viewers to a world of hidden magical creatures and ancient secrets that readers know well. The story follows siblings Kendra and Seth Sorenson, who visit their grandfather’s mansion, which serves as a sheltered reserve for mythical creatures.
“We are beyond excited to partner with Angel Studios in bringing Brandon Mull’s beloved book series to life,” said Producer and Director Cameron Sawyer. “What gets us most excited about this collaboration is that we have the freedom to stay true to the book, which is a rare privilege today.”
When their grandfather is kidnapped by goblins, the siblings embark on a journey to rescue him as a witch named Muriel plots the release of a powerful demon named Bahamut, which could result in the end of the world.
Produced by Christian Busath and executive produced by Travis Shreeve, the film will focus on the first book in the series with plans to develop all five books for the big screen.
“This is a significant occasion to walk lockstep with Angel, and to bring such an epic story and world onto the big screen. Our passion for the books and their iconic characters is at the heart of this collaboration. We’re fans first and foremost,” Busath said.
