Cologne, Germany -- Uschi Reich and her production shingle Bavaria Filmverleih have picked up rights to author Isabel Abedi's best-selling "Lola" books with an eye to turning them into a kids film franchise.
Described as a "German Hannah Montana," the novels follow nine-year-old Lola, who dreams of becoming a singer, a spy and a wedding planner while struggling to manage her everyday life.
Reich will adapt the first novel in the series, "Here Comes Lola," for Bavaria together with German mini-major Constantin Film, which will distribute the film locally.

COLOGNE -- German federal film subsidies board FFA will back sequels to two of the biggest German-language hits in recent years -- the coming-of-age comedy Girls on Top and the children's fantasy film Bibi Blocksberg. The FFA announced Wednesday it has approved an 800,000 ($940,537) grant for Bibi Blocksberg 2, which Bavaria Film is producing with Franziska Buch (Emil and the Detective) attached to direct. The feature, based on the best-selling children's books from German author Theo Schwartz, follows the adventures of Bibi, the youngest in a long line of witches who fight the forces of evil. The first Bibi installment, from director Hermine Huntgeburth, was one of the top-earning German films of 2002, taking in 9.9 million locally.
