Studios’ comic series Lumberjanes is in the works as a film at 20th Century Fox, according to the Wrap. Writer Will Widger has been signed to write a live action adaptation, according to the report. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before a movie deal got done on this property, which came out of the gate strong with a sell-out first issue and never looked back. Sales on that first issue, and since, were driven in part by co-creator Noelle Stevenson’s campaign on Tumblr and hand-selling in comic stores by female comic store employee group Beware the Valkyries. The book was written by Grace Ellis and Noelle Stevenson, with art by Brooke Allen, and co-created by Shannon Waters. It’s been nominated for two Eisner Awards. The title has also been strong in the book channel, according to BOOM! EIC Matt Gagnon, who told ICv2 earlier this month that the current print runs on Volume 1 stand at 60,000
