Washington DC, July 23 -- Warner Bros. Pictures has acquired rights to adapt Chris Colfer's multi-million-copy #1 New York Times bestselling book series 'The Land of Stories' for film. It will be directed by Academy Award nominee Phil Johnston, as reported by Deadline.

According to Deadline, in 'The Land of Stories', twins Alex and Conner Bailey, fresh from the tragic loss of their father, are transported into a magic book where the classic fairy tales come to life, magically, hilariously, and sometimes dangerously, in one connected universe.

They are injected into a strange world where all rules have changed. They come face to face with characters they've only read about in stories.
