The 2003 movie based mostly on the 1998 e-book of the identical title is one usually seemed fondly upon by those who do bear in mind it, with Walt Disney Footage producing it again within the day. At all times one to use any IP it has underneath its belt, the home of mouse is as soon as once more adapting the novel (through Selection), this time as a TV present set to air on Disney Plus.
There may be one key distinction with this adaptation although, the logline explaining, “On this reimagining of the beloved 1998 e-book from Louis Sachar, a teenage woman is distributed to a detention camp the place the ruthless Warden forces the campers to dig holes for a mysterious objective.” The teenage woman in query is probably going the character of Stanley Yelnats, performed by LaBeouf within the movie, so there’s been a little bit of a genderswap with the character seemingly.
Alina Mankin is serving is author on the mission, govt producing the sequence is Drew Goddard via Goddard Textiles together with Sarah Esberg.

It feels good to deliver it full circle for Mrs. Goddard and her sixth grade class.”
Proper now it is only a pilot within the works, and there is no phrase on a shoot date, so you will most likely have to attend some time till this one releases, if it will get picked up for a full sequence in any respect.
