Paramount Pictures has picked up the film rights to Red Rising, the best-selling dystopian sci-fi series by Pierce Brown.
Francis Lawrence, no stranger to dystopian sci-fi thanks to his many installments of The Hunger Games franchise, is attached to direct the adaptation of the first novel, also titled Red Rising.
Justin Rhodes, who worked with Lawrence developing Netflix’s video game adaptation Bioshock, will pen the script

Glad something is moving forward but would rather a series to flesh out the story more.

Would’ve preferred a series, but an interview with the author has me pretty optimistic that he’s going to have enough input to keep it true to the books.
The rumor is that he nixed the foray with Universal because they wanted to gender-swap Sevro of all characters

The director said Netflix had the rights for the last several years to adapt it into a series but they never pulled the trigger, so they reverted back to Pierce. As much as I wanted a series, Netflix would have canceled it after season one when it didn’t reach a billion minutes watched in the first hour after its release. He seems to be a big fan of the books and has been involved for nearly a decade to get it made, so it seems to be in good hands.

Netflix would have made terrible slop

I doubt it but has anybody involved talked about any specifics? With it being the Hunger Games director I am assuming it's going to be portrayed as YA/PG-13. I think that'd probably be a mistake. Doing it as a Hunger Games knock off seems like a great way to make the movie bomb and not get you a second or third movie.
But the best news so far is it's not on Netflix.

In a way it could be good. Since the portion where he is a teen could be portrayed that way maybe it is a good choice of director. As Darrow ages and things get darker you get a different director
