The best-selling children’s book JK Rowling, “The Christmas Pig”will have a film adaptation.
Rowling’s production company, Brontë, is already producing the BBC/HBO adaptation of her adult detective series “Cormoran Strike”.

What The Christmas Pig is about
The book tells the story of a boy named Jack, who loses his childhood toy, Dur Pig, nicknamed DP, on Christmas Eve after his stepsister throws him out of the family car. Although Jack is offered a replacement named Christmas Pig as consolation, he misses his old, faithful friend and casts Christmas Pig (abbreviated as CP) aside.
To cheer Jack up, CP proposes a plan to rescue his best toy. The duo are reduced and sent to the Land of the Lost, where they embark on a dangerous journey to reconnect with DP. Along the way they meet a cast of giant characters, including Santa Claus. Finally, Jack is able to accept his loss and returns to his bed with Christmas Pig.
