Gabrielle Union and Taraji P. Henson are producing a movie adaptation of the graphic novel Sorcerority, Deadline reports.

The novel, written and illustrated by Mikhail Sebastian and George T. Watson, takes place at “Excursia, the world’s first and last HBCU of Magic,” according to an Instagram account for the book. It tells the story of a young Black woman named Maggie, who goes to the school and then realizes her enrollment there might be part of some kind of greater plan.

Union and Henson will produce the film along with Effie T. Brown (Real Women Have Curves, Dear White People), as well as Kian Gass and Christine Conley.

“I could not have imagined a better equipped or more inspiring dream team of female producing partners than Gabrielle and Taraji on a project about such powerful black women,” Brown said. “Sorcerority’s depiction of black girl magic and sisterhood offers such a fresh and unexpected perspective, and we can’t wait to bring Mikhail and George’s beautiful graphic novel to life.”

Fans of the novel expressed excitement about the film project on Twitter. Actor Zeno Robinson tweeted, “What’s crazy is I literally said in an interview that the future of black people in anime is that original works like Myth’s Sorcerority will start getting made.”

And author Leon Langford wrote, “I saw Megan [Thee] Stallion rocking a #Sorcerority shirt last year. This story has always had an audience and it’s about to get bigger.”

Sorcerority is available to read free online at the novel’s website.
