Essential Pictures has launched development of Outlander as a potential franchise based on the Diana Gabaldon series of fantasy novels, reports Variety.

The new company is out to directors with an adaptation from Randall Wallace (Braveheart); the goal is to start production next spring. Gabaldon's series of six novels center on an 18th century Scottish Highlander and his time-traveling wife.

Essential is also developing romantic comedy Bronwyn and Clyde, with Barry Sonnenfeld in negotiations to direct from a script by Tom Vaughan and Kristy Dobkin.

Whoa, just about every series I'm reading is being adapted lol. It'd be interesting to see how they manage with this adaption. I sure as hell know they can't possible make one film from the first book, unless like make it 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

Funny how we were just talking about this Big Bro .

Never read the books, but all of them seems to be pretty lengthy novels. I just saw over at Amazon that the mass market paperback of A Breath of Snow and Ashes is 1456 pages.

Yeah I have the small paperback of the first book and it's 850 pages long.
