THE MAGICIAN'S ELEPHANT COMES TO THE BIG SCREEN

According to one of my favorite sites, Slash Films, "20th Century Fox will be making a big screen adaptation of Kate DiCamillo’s soon-to-be-published children’s book "The Magician’s Elephant," with Martin Hynes attached to direct. Hynes is probably best known for playing George Lucas in the famous short film "George Lucas in Love,"  but he also directed one of my favorite films of 2007, one of which was never released—The Go-Getter." More magic appearing on the big screen has to be great for magicians, especially  in this case for  those that focus on family entertainment.  Hynes told Variety,  "The film we've referenced in terms of tone is 'The Princess Bride' -- something that kids will enjoy, but adults will love on other levels."
