While in the last few years young adult adaptations have proven a more miss than hit affair, the fact they often don’t cost a huge amount to make but have potentially massive rewards means Hollywood is still very keen on them.

One that’s coming sometime in 2015 is Fallen, which features a very attractive cast including Addison Timlin, Jeremy Irvine & Harrison Gilbertson – and now we get our first look at them with the pic above. It certainly doesn’t seem to be shying away from potential Twilight comparisons.

The film is based on Lauren Kate’s young adult supernatural fantasy novel about an alienated teen girl, Luce Price (Timlin), who is drawn to the mysterious and aloof Daniel Grigori (Irvine) from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in Savannah, Georgia. He’s the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch their every move.

Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce, she can’t let go and has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret. As secrets unfurl, it becomes clear Daniel may not be what he appears, and there could be a reason he seems so familiar. Harrison Gilbertson plays Cameron ‘Cam’ Briel, a bad boy who also has a dark secret.

Scott Hicks (The Lucky One) is directing from a screenplay co-written by author Lauren Kate, Nichole Millard and Kathryn Price. It isn’t clear when it will shoot.
