Variety is reporting that Legendsary Entertainment has snapped up the film rights to Oni Press’ acclaimed graphic novel My Boyfriend Is a Bear from writer Pamela Ribbon and artist Cat Farris.
My Boyfriend Is a Bear is described as an unconventional love story which follows Nora, “who, after a succession of terrible boyfriends, finds true love with the most unexpected of suitors: a 500-pound American Black Bear. They’ll soon discover that hipster neighbors, judgmental friends, and Bear’s impending need for hibernation will put their relationship to the ultimate test.”
Ribbon is attached to write the script for the feature film adaptation, as well as executive producing the movie. Her previous script credits include Moana, The Smurfs: The Lost Village and the upcoming Ralph Breaks the Internet.
