Film rights sold for children's book Stoneheart
Paramount Pictures has bought the film rights to a children's book by screenwriter Charlie Fletcher called Stoneheart.
Stoneheart is scheduled for publication in September in the UK (Hachette) and the US (Hyperion).
In the book, London statues of famous people come alive to re-enact their history.
"This is very 'Harry Potter,"' said producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura. "It's scary when gargoyles come to life and soldiers in Trafalgar Square are still fighting battles. It's a very visual piece."
