Hollywood looks set to launch a new youth-orientated fantasy series based on the famous Merlin myth, according to Variety.
Details surrounding the Warner Brothers project are few, but Game of Thrones writer Dave Hill will team with Hanna's David Farr to work on a screenplay. Variety suggests the film is being pitched as the first in a new franchise, with the target audience similar to current hit sci-fi saga The Hunger Games.
There has been speculation that Merlin could be based on young adult author Ta Barron's five-novel series The Lost Years of Merlin, which Warner optioned two years ago. Revealing the untold story of the famous wizard's youth, the books tell an Arthurian tale of goblins, dragons, ogres and giants.

As you look through the list of winners, you may want to take note of a few key films and add them to your “To Screen” list.
