‘Goosebumps’ Series Picked Up By Sony

Posted August 18 by Kirk in Family Flicks Horror Script

The popular children’s series of horror books by R.L. Stine, ‘Goosebumps’, is going to be turned into at least one feature film.  The rights to the series of books were picked up by Sony Pictures who already has two screenwriters working on the script.

Larry Karaszewski and Scott Alexander are the writers working on the screenplay.  The team has previously worked on ‘Ed Wood’, ‘Agent Cody Banks’, and ‘1408′.

Neal Mortiz, who produced ‘Evan Almighty’ and ‘I Am Legend’, is producing the film, which is likely to be a horror themed anthology film geared more towards the PG-rated audience.  Sony is looking to cast young actors in the lead roles and well-known adult actors in the supporting roles.
