Israeli actress Gal Gadot, through her production company Pilot Wave, is set to produce a film based on the young adult novel "Don't Feed the Monster." The book was co-authored by Israeli news anchor Yunit Levi and CNN anchor Bianna Golodryga. The film adaptation will be a collaboration between Gadot's Pilot Wave and Warner Bros. Pictures.

The novel, which was released in English about a year ago and in Hebrew last summer, centers on three Jewish teenagers in Chicago who confront rising antisemitism in their school. Levi and Golodryga, both Jewish mothers, stated they wrote the book out of concern for the world their children are growing up in. They expressed gratitude to Warner Bros., Gadot, and her husband Yaron Varsano for understanding the story's mission.

Since its publication, "Don't Feed the Monster" has sold tens of thousands of copies, topped Amazon's children's Jewish literature chart, and appeared on USA Today's bestseller list. Gadot and Varsano will serve as executive producers for the project.
