Paramount was involved in two property acquisitions with high-profile producers today:

	Paramount teamed with J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot to option the nazi hunter spec script Wunderkind, written by Patrick Aison.
	The studio acquired the screen rights to Libba Bray's upcoming novel The Diviners.  Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage will produce through their Fake Empire banner.

Hit the jump for details on both projects.


Wunderkind
Risky Business provides the logline for Wunderkind:
"The action/thriller is set in the 1970s and follows two Nazi hunters;  one is with the CIA and another works for Israel's Mossad intelligence  organization. The two hunters' paths become intertwined---but they only  start working together reluctantly."
That's an enticing, cool premise---very appropriate for the Bad Robot development house.  Bryan Burk (Fringe) of Bad Robot will also produce alongside Abrams, Chris Cowles, Chris Fenton, and Brian McCurley.
The Diviners
The Diviners, the first in book in a planned four-part series, is set for publication in September.  Here's the official synopsis:
Evie O'Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped  off to the bustling streets of New York City--and she is pos-i-toot-ly  thrilled. New York is the city of speakeasies, shopping, and movie  palaces! Soon enough, Evie is running with glamorous Ziegfield girls and  rakish pickpockets. The only catch is Evie has to live with her Uncle  Will, curator of The Museum of American Folklore, Superstition, and the  Occult--also known as "The Museum of the Creepy Crawlies."
When  a rash of occult-based murders comes to light, Evie and ...]]></description>

Paramount Pictures has picked up the feature rights to two Tana French novels for adaptation. In the Woods, French’s 2008 debut novel, is part police procedural and part psychological thriller and charts the investigation into the murder of a 12-year-old girl in Dublin, Ireland. The sequel, The Likeness, features the same detective, Cassie Maddox, investigating the death of a young woman who is a dead ringer for Cassie herself, allowing the detective to assume the woman’s identity as a grad student at Trinity College.

The Likeness was acquired for adaptation by Stephanie Savage (Gossip Girl). She will produce with Fake Empire partner Josh Schwartz. As reported by Deadline, the duo purchased the book rights through their discretionary fund at Paramount. Fake Empire has set up five projects thus far, with its first film Fun Size to be released late next year.  Hit the jump for synopses for both books.

In the Woods
When Katy Devlin, a 12-year-old girl from Knocknaree, a Dublin suburb,  is found murdered at a local archeological dig, Det. Rob Ryan and his  partner, Cassie Maddox, must probe deep into the victim's troubled  family history. There are chilling similarities between the Devlin  murder and the disappearance 20 years before of two children from the  same neighborhood who were Ryan's best friends. Only Maddox knows Ryan  was involved in the 1984 case. [Amazon]
The Likeness
Detective Cassie Maddox returns to unravel a case even more sinister and  enigmatic than the first. Six months after the events ...]]></description>

As a team, Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are best known as the creative minds behind Gossip Girl and The O.C. In case you are particularly averse to teen soaps, you should probably identify Schwartz as the creator of the immensely male-friendly spy dramedy Chuck.  Once you factor in that How to Train Your Dragon producer Roy Lee is also on board, there is something for everyone within the news that the Schwartz/Savage banner Fake Empire has acquired the screen rights to Joe Schreiber's upcoming young-adult novel Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick.  The tone has been likened to a cross between John Hughes and Grosse Pointe Blank; hit the jump for a synopsis.



Here's a brief outline courtesy of Deadline:
The protagonist is a high school kid whose parents take in an Eastern  European exchange student. Though she seems homely and ordinary at  first, he realizes he misjudged her. After they leave the prom at her  suggestion to go clubbing in New York City, she reveals herself to be a  beautiful assassin after five targets.  He is pressed to help and has to  figure out if her motives are righteous.

The six figure deal has proven serendipitous for author Schreiber whose previous work has been focused in the horror and sci-fi genres.   Paramount Pictures emerged victorious in the literary bidding war, with plans to anchor the development of Au Revoir around Lee.  It is unclear at this stage how exactly Schwartz and Savage will be involved.  (In my ...]]></description>
