Written by "Greg The Bunny" creator Dan Milano with Matthew Huffman, pic will tell the story of a young boy who has a friendship with an extraordinary creature that changes the course of his life as he becomes an adult.
"Me and My Monster," which is the project's working title, is envisioned as a pic that will play to kids and teens as well as adults.
Supervising the project are exec VP Matt Tolmach and VP Rachel O'Connor, reporting to production president Peter Schlessel.
