Marsai Martin To Produce Universal Film “Amari And The Night Brothers”

Hollywood’s Youngest Producer, “Black-ish” star Marsai Martin has already lined up her next producing project.

Universal Pictures has optioned the rights to “Amari and the Night Brothers,” the debut novel by first-time author B.B. Alston.

Martin’s Genius Productions, alongside Don Cheadle and Mandeville Films, will produce the movie for Universal and Martin is set to star as well. 

According to the Hollywood reporter, details about the book haven’t been released, but it is known to be a middle-grade, contemporary real-world fantasy centered on a black girl who goes on a journey in which she discovers her hidden powers. 

The book was one of the splashes of the Bologna Children’s Book Fair in April, where many territories around the world were sold in a heated auction. Balzer + Bray, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, won a six-way auction for U.S. rights. 

A January 2021 publishing date is being eyed.
