Warner Bros. Takes Film Rights To Reed King’s Sci-Fi Novel ‘FKA USA’ In Seven-Figure Deal
Warner Bros. has purchased the feature film rights to Reed King’s upcoming dystopian novel FKA USA in a seven-figure deal. The novel is being published by Amy Einhorn of Flatiron Books, a division of Macmillan, in June of 2019.
FKA USA imagines a United States where, in the wake of environmental disasters and the catastrophic policies of its final president, the Fifty States have seceded and given way to a series of lawless territories. The story centers on four characters – a factory worker in Crunchtown 407 (formerly Little Rock, Arkansas), a talking goat, an android who wants to be human, and a former convict lobotomized in Texas – who are unexpectedly entrusted with a sensitive political mission on which the fate of the world may just depend.
