All Aboard the Adamtine Train

Award-winning UK author Hannah Berry (Britten & Brulightly, Livestock) created the graphic novel in 2012, and will serve as Executive Producer on the project. Mare of Easttown Executive Producer Mark Roybal will produce the film alongside Paul Lee and Nate Winslow from wiip.

The story for Adamtine is about a mysterious connection between strangers on a train.

Berry also wrote the noir Britten & Brülightly and the dark satire Livestock, which won her a Best Writer award at the 2017 Broken Frontier Awards, as well as securing a nomination for Best Graphic Novel.

A comics creator, scriptwriter, illustrator, and campaigner, as well as a graphic novelist, she has contributed comics to anthologies and publications from 2000AD to the New England Journal of Medicine and was a cartoonist for New Statesman and Prospect Magazine. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, she’s seen editions of her books published in the U.S., France, Holland, Serbia, and Italy while exhibiting her artwork in solo and collective exhibitions worldwide.

Berry said about the announcement, “I’m delighted beyond measure, and hugely grateful to Emma Topping for making it happen. I’m very much looking forward to working with wiip and – in the best possible way – unsettling a lot of people together.”

There are currently no details on a director or cast for the adaptation.
