Director Chris Palmer is set to helm Warner Bros. Pictures
A Spell for Chameleon, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The story, which is based on the Piers Anthony novel, is set in the kingdom of Xanth, where everyone has magical powers, and centers on a young man who is exiled for having none. He later returns to reveal his true gift when the kingdom needs saving.
"The 'Harry Potter' books are about magic people and Muggles, humans who have no powers and, ironically, the people reading them are Muggles themselves," Palmer said. "So I like this idea of turning that around. I like how (the main character's) lack of magical abilities ends up saving the day."
