Legendary Entertainment is partnering with Caroline Fraser of HarperCollins Productions (Carmen Sandiego) to produce a live-action Danny and the Dinosaur film, based on the children's picture book series by Syd Hoff, Deadline reported.
HarperCollins Productions optioned media rights to the series from the Author's Guild Foundation, which shares them with the Anti-Defamation League Foundation, ORT America, and the United Negro College Fund. The original book, published in 1958, was followed up by six sequels by Hoff, with the full set selling more than 11 million copies in 12 languages, Deadline noted.
