The question of whether Harry truly managed to go with the plan in his next life or if Vincent managed to somehow prevent it, since thanks to the book he now knows everything, will never be answered.
This is all well and good until, while on the deathbed of his eleventh life, Harry is warned by a little kalachakra girl that the world is ending, and he must stop it from doing so. Harry is a kalachakra (or ouroborus, the names are used interchangeably), a member of a select few people who, upon dying, simply return to when they were born with all the memories and knowledge of their past lives. Except he does this a lot more than most regular people. She’s also written a number of urban fantasy novels as Kate Griffin, including 2009’s A Madness of Angels.A 2014 sci-fi book by Claire North (pseudonym of British author Catherine Webb), "The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August" is about the titular protagonist Harry August. No casting news or tentative release date has yet been announced, but the novel will be adapted for the screen by Melissa Iqbal, who previously wrote episodes of the SF TV series Humans and Origin.Ĭlaire North is the pseudonym of English author Catherine Webb, who’s written several books under her own name, such as the 2009 middle-grade historical mystery The Extraordinary and Unusual Adventures of Horatio Lyle.

Last December the Hollywood Reporter noted that Ball had been hired to direct a future Planet of the Apes film-part of a series that’s loosely based on a 1963 novel by French author Pierre Boule.Īmblin Entertainment purchased the film rights to North’s book, which Ana Grilo of the Book Smugglers blog, in a 2014 column for Kirkus, called “ Groundhog Day on Red Bull.” It tells the story of a man who, like a few other similarly gifted people, keeps reliving the same life over and over. Those movies were based on the first three books in the bestselling dystopian YA book series by James Dashner. Wes Ball has been hired to direct the upcoming film, after previously helming 2014’s The Maze Runner, 2015’s Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, and 2018’s Maze Runner: The Death Cure, which, combined, have grossed nearly $950 million worldwide. A movie version of Claire North’s 2014 SF novel The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August is in the works, and the director of the hugely popular Maze Runner films is onboard, according to Observer.
