Mexican actress and producer Salma Hayek plans to make an animated film based on Lebanese author Khalil Gibran’s novel “The Prophet,” The Hollywood Reporter said Thursday.

The book, written in 1923, consists of 26 chapters devoted to topics such as love, marriage, childhood, joy, freedom, death and faith.

Hayek, whose father hails from Lebanon, has teamed up with the Doha Film Institute and Participant Media to bring Gibran’s classic to the screen.
