Former Batman Ben Affleck is set to direct an adaptation of Shannon Messenger’s Keeper of the Lost Cities, according to a report at Deadline.

The site notes that Disney are developing a feature based on the YA series in which a telepathic girl must figure out why she is the key to her brand-new world before the wrong person finds the answer first. When 12-year-old Sophie finally discovers where her secret telepathic ability comes from, she learns she’s actually not human but is from another world that exists side-by-side with ours.

Affleck is believed to be producing and adapt the script with Kate Gritmon.
