Writer Matt Nix will be a busy man. Days after selling his comedy pitch Boss Go Home (about an employee who faces his middle-aged boss moving in after a divorce), he’s been hired to re-write Warner’s The Giants Of Groil.
Adapted from The Giants And The Jonses by Julia Donaldson, the movie is being produced by Harry Potter shepherd David Heyman and is an adventure about two siblings who discover a beanstalk to the land of Groil in their garden. Entering Groil, the kids have a series of encounters with magical creatures, including the legendary Jack (of “The Beanstalk” fame).
There’s no director or cast attached yet.
