Reynolds puts on WB's 'Spacesuit'
Just days after picking up an original screenplay Academy Award
nomination for writing "Finding Nemo," David Reynolds has closed a
deal to adapt the Robert A. Heinlein science fiction classic "Have
Spacesuit, Will Travel" for Warner Bros. Pictures. David Heyman is
producing the live-action film through his Heydey Prods. ****ngle.
Originally published in 1958, "Spacesuit" tells the story of Kip, a
high school senior who yearns to go to the moon. He wins a real
spacesuit in a contest but is forced to sell it for college tuition.
Deciding to take one last walk in the suit in his backyard, he
playfully calls out on the radio only to unexpectedly contact a
passing space****p. The adventure that follows finds the very fate of
Earth in the his hands. (Borys Kit)
