Poet Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet, a popular collection of 26 poetic essays, is being developed as a 3D animated film anthology by Hanson Inc.
The digital agency has licensed the rights to the book, first published in 1923 and currently in its 123rd printing, with the aim of developing it as a feature in which a different animator and style would work on each essay, Variety reports.
Steve Hanson and William Nix are on board as executive producers, as are former Disney animation executive Clark Peterson and Ron Senkowski as producers.
The book has been translated into more than 40 languages and is one of the best-selling books of poetry in history.
