Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. This is the first Walden Media project that's actually piqued my interest.

One, it's the next film from Gil Kenan who directed the awfully good MONSTER HOUSE. Two, so far they have Toby Jones (INFAMOUS and -upcoming- THE MIST) and Saoirse Ronan (ATONEMENT) in the cast. And three, Bill Murray has just joined up.

It sounds like this is going to be a live action movie, but I'm not 100% sure on that, so don't quote me. The original book is by Jeanne DuPrau and it's about an insular, dark place without any light whatsoever, barring the illumination that comes from the street lamps. One day the street lamps begin to dim, the power source failing. The movie is the adventure to find out why this is happening and what might exist outside of this world.

Sounds interesting, the cast is great so far and Kenan had a helluva debut. This is one to watch.
