According to Variety Disney has acquired the script Monster Witness Relocation Program from Michael Wilson and Ahmet Zappa and the project’s been set up at Will Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment and is being developed as a possible vehicle for The Karate Kid (KUNG FU, DAMN IT) star Jaden Smith, although as of press time Smith’s kid is not yet attached.
In 2005, Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer Films paid $1.5 million for film rights to Zappa’s then-unpublished novel Monstrous Memoirs of a Mighty McFearless. That story concerns a young brother and sister who learn their family is part of a long line of monster hunters.
Look for more soon.
