Jack Black Set To Star In GOOSEBUMPS Movie
The School Of Rock actor is apparently in talks with Sony to star in a movie version of the classic children's horror franchise which a whole generation of kids scared themselves silly with. This probably won't be taken very seriously though..
According to The Wrap, Jack Black will re-team with his Gulliver's Travels director Rob Letterman for a live action take R.L. Stine's Goosebumps -- the second most popular book franchise in the world, spawning a tv series, video games and comic books along the way. The site report that Black would play a "Stine-like author whose scary characters literally leap off the page, forcing him to hide from his own creepy creations." All sounds very Night At The Museum...what do you fans of the books think about this take? Sony execs Hannah Minghella and Elizabeth Cantillon will oversee the “Goosebumps” movie for the studio.
