The Producer Of I AM LEGEND, The FAST AND THE FURIOUS Films, xXx, And I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER Brings Us...GOOSEBUMPS??


Merrick here...

Neal Moritz, who produced the titles referenced in the headline as well as many other projects, has (naturally) joined with Scholastic Media to bring R.L. Stine's GOOSEBUMPS to the big screen for Columbia.

Studio is fast-tracking the project and is focusing on finding a writer.

Moritz said they likely will cast unknown child actors and then pepper the film with well-known thesps in supporting roles, much like Warner did with the "Harry Potter" franchise.

...says THIS ARTICLE in Variety.

GOOSEBUMPS previously spawned a three-season television series out of Canada (in the late 90s), and various spin-off publications and products.

You can find the official GOOSEBUMPS/Scholastic site HERE.
