Mark Waters hasn't had the best luck since Mean Girls (2004), but the director's
underrated take on The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008) proved he can handle the fantasy
genre. Here, he partners with his brother, Heathers (1988) screenwriter Daniel
Waters, to mount the first installment of a hopeful franchise based on Richelle
Mead's 6-volume series of best-selling novels that sound a bit like Twilight meets
X-Men. A potential advantage this contender has over its competition: two of the six
books have been turned into graphic novels thus far.
