Will and Jada Pinkett Smith’s Westbrook Studios has optioned rights to the graphic novel “Canto” and are adapting the fantasy series as an animated feature.
In the comic, Canto and his fellow tin-people have been enslaved in the land of Arcana for generations – their hearts replaced with clocks. Though love is forbidden, that hasn’t stopped Canto from falling in love with a Tin Girl.
When the slavers damage the tin girl’s clock beyond repair, Canto leaves Arcana to go on a quest and find his people’s missing hearts.
David M. Booher is set to write the screenplay and will executive produce alongside Drew Zucker. Both co-created the comic while Jon Mone will produce.
