Mikhail Bulgakov's novel The Master and Margarita, considered one of the great novels of the 20th Century, has been optioned by Svetlana Migunova-Dali, producer of the Russian Academy Award-winning biopic Legend No. 17, and Grace Loh, former president of New Crime Productions. Deadline noted that the Bulgakov Foundation, "which holds the rights, has allowed the work to be adapted for film, TV and even animation, but most of those have been done for overseas audiences."
