Just a couple more words in addition to yesterday's post:
"The time is ripe for doing a movie," said Forte, who dubbed "Goosebumps" the original "safe scare" property. "The first generation of 'Goosebumps' fans are in their early 20s now."
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.
"Numerous people have tried to bring 'Goosebumps' to the bigscreen, but luckily Scholastic never found the right fit," said Moritz, who is better known for producing action fare such as "The Fast and the Furious" films, though he has the young-adult project "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" in development at Sony. "I've been a huge fan of the property for a long time. I met with Deborah several times and convinced her that Original and Sony were the best place to take it."
Sony and Scholastic see the property as a potential franchise.
Studio is fast-tracking the project and is focusing on finding a writer.
