Steve Bicknell, Managing Director of Maverick Pictures, commented: “We are delighted to be launching Maverick Pictures Limited in partnership with A New Road Productions. We look forward to bringing Maverick’s books to life for the screen and are excited to be collaborating with Luke Bailey and his team, whose industry experience will be invaluable as we develop our upcoming live action, Dragon Girl based on the fantasy children’s books, written by Jenny Moore.”
Bailey commented: “Stories about identity, courage and resilience are why we created A New Road Productions, so we are thrilled to have the opportunity to work alongside Maverick in bringing the magic and ferocity of Dragon Girl to life.”
Dragon Girl is currently in development for a 6 x 22 live action TV Fantasy series aimed at 10–13-year-olds.
