And the next young-adult fantasy novel to become a major motion picture is……Firelight! Mandalay Pictures has hired screenwriter Nick Pustay (Ramona and Beezus) to adapt Sophie Jordan’s young-adult fantasy novel Firelight. The book tells the story of a young girl who is of a race that can morph from human to dragon at will. The girl’s family moves to live among humans, but the girl falls in love with a dragon hunter. Heat Vision reports that Cathy Schulman (Crash) will produce the film. No director has been set for the project at this point. Hit the jump to read a synopsis of the novel, the last line of which should tell you what to expect from a film adapation.

“Saturday Night Live” aired a very funny digital short tonight that parody’s “Twilight”. The short was called “Firelight” and it stars Taylor Swift in the Bella Swan role. Since anything I say will just spoil the parody, check it out after the jump. It’s definitely worth watching.
