Foundation Media Partners has announced a partnership with Rose Byrne’s production company, Dollhouse Pictures, for the film adaption of the bestselling children’s novel, “Wolf Girl,” by Anh Do. The project is the first major motion picture developed from the Australian author’s work. 

“Wolf Girl” is an adventure-thriller that has captivated young readers in Australia. The protagonist, Gwen, is a young girl separated from her family who must learn how to survive and is accompanied by a newfound family of canines. The tale of survival, nature, courage and family has resonated with a cross-generational audience. HarperCollins Children’s Books is set to bring the best-selling novel to the U.S. market in March.   

Patrick Hughes, chief executive officer and Harvey Russell, chief operating officer, Foundation Media Partners, will bring their expertise in producing commercially successful films and television to the project. Rose Byrne will also produce the movie with her Dollhouse Pictures partners, who have garnered a reputation for championing bold, dynamic stories with a global reach.  

“We’re huge fans of Rose and the remarkable team she’s built at Dollhouse Pictures, including her creative partners, Jessica Carrera and Krew Boylan,” say Hughes and Russell in a joint statement. “We knew they would have a vision for the project, and they were our ideal partners. We couldn’t be more thrilled they not only loved the material but were already avid fans of Anh Do’s work and the ‘Wolf Girl’ series. We cannot wait to collaborate with their team.”
