Production[edit]
Development[edit]
In July 2009, Paramount Pictures set Neil Burger to write the script and Cary Granat to produce the film based on the novel Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.[1] On March 4, 2015, Deadline Hollywood reported that MGM had re-acquired the rights to produce a new film based on the original book. The film will be produced by the team of Daniel Bobker and Ehren Kruger, with screenplay by Ice Age series writer Michael Berg.[2] It will be James Madigan's directorial debut.[3] It is planned as a CGI/live action hybrid "à la The Smurfs and Alvin and the Chipmunks", and will be "an origin story in which an imperiled mouse protagonist befriends a comical crew of lab rats as they turn hyper-intelligent. They escape a secret laboratory and become the great minds of vermin civilization, forced to outwit the humans hot on their tails."[4] The studio plans to turn the novel into a family franchise.[2] In April 2019, the Russo brothers signed on as producers for the remake.[5][6]
