"'Legend' is, to me, a book that not enough people have discovered," Wyck said. "It's a phenomenally written book by Marie Lu. We just got a draft of the script that I think is fantastic, and her sequel ['Prodigy'], which she just showed me a galley of, is going to take it in an entirely new direction which is really fulfilling."

Wyck said that once CBS Films gives the go-ahead on the script, they can begin the long (and sometimes arduous) process of casting. Whether filmmakers will opt for unknowns or familiar faces is still up in the air.

"The interesting thing with 'Legend,' I actually think those characters should be in their early 20s because they're a little more adult in the world they're in," Wyck said. "Jonathan Levine is the director, who did '50/50' and just directed 'Warm Bodies,' and has such an eye for talent that I'm feeling pretty secure in what he comes up with."
