An Anne of Green Gables prequel?

Producer on the hunt for the new Megan Follows

The never ending saga of ‘Anne of Green Gables’ is, um, continuing as forecast.

Taking a cue out of Uncle George’s book, Gables’ helmer Kevin Sullivan is planning a prequel to the first film.

Talking to The Globe and Mail, Sullivan says he won’t be requiring the services of Megan Follows, who played the role in the previous films, because this one will be set before Anne arrived in Avonlea. He’s apparently checking out the lovely young ladies in Canada as we speak – and also for casting purposes.

“Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning”, written by Sullivan, imagines Anne’s life before she arrived in Avonlea. “A child who had that kind of flamboyant imagination had to have already created her own world out of a need to escape an unusual past,” Sullivan says in a news release announcing his casting call.

Thanks to Cinema Blend for the heads up!
