British visual artist Es Devlin, who has worked with U2 and Beyoncé, will serve as a production designer on the fantasy adaptation of The Lunar Chronicles, which Warner Bros said on Monday will release on November 3, 2028.
Warner Bros Pictures Animation and Locksmith Animation are partnering on the feature, based on Marissa Meyer’s book series. Noëlle Raffaele, a story artist on The Lego Ninjago Movie and The Marvels, will direct and the producer is Christina Steinberg, whose credits include the Spider-Verse films and Rise Of The Guardians.
The screenplay is by Lindsey Ferrentino and writing partners Kalen Egan & Travis Sentell. The book series comprises four YA novels, a novella, and a short story collection and brings a sci-fi twist to the classic fairytales Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Snow White. Warner Bros Pictures Animation and Locksmith Animation announced plans for an adaptation in 2019.
As production designers Devlin and Patrick Hanenberger, who served in that capacity on Rise Of The Guardians, will lead the visual world design. American luxury brand Rodarte co-founders Laura and Kate Mulleavy are costume designers, while Industrial Light & Magic is also on board.
The Lunar Chronicles is the second film collaboration from Warner Bros. Pictures Animation and Locksmith Animation, who will release Bad Fairies from director Megan Nicole Dong on July 23, 2027. The next feature release from Warner Bros. Pictures Animation is The Cat In The Hat, currently scheduled to open on February 27, 2026.
