ImageMovers and Disney to Adapt Stoneheart
Source: The Hollywood Reporter March 24, 2009


ImageMovers and Disney are in negotiations to pick up film rights to "The Stoneheart Trilogy," a young-adult fantasy book series by Charlie Fletcher. ImageMovers' Robert Zemeckis, Jack Rapke and Steve Starkey will produce.

The Hollywood Reporter says the books revolve around a 12-year-old London boy who enters a hidden alternate world where statues, imbued with the soullike essence of their makers, come to life. The boy's presence upsets a balance between good and evil, and while dealing with such creatures as sphinxes and gargoyles, he teams with an orphan girl and the statue of a World War I gunner to try to set things right.

The third "Stoneheart" book, "Silvertongue," is due in stores next month.

The intent is to adapt Stoneheart using performance-capture.
 
Yes just as they did the cartoon. With Goliath/Demona/Alicia Maza/ and Zanatos.
Too me that cartoon had big screen possibilities.
 
I am a tad concerned as to why they have yet to reignite this property. I assume it has something to do with the Greg Weisman power struggle.
 
Haven't they learned anything from the poor reception to the golden compass, spiderwick, the 2nd Narnia etc... ?
 
I was interested until they mentioned the main star is a kid.
