The Hollywood Reporter reports that "ImageMovers and Disney are in negotiations to pick up film rights to The Stoneheart Trilogy, a young-adult fantasy book series by Charlie Fletcher. ImageMovers' Robert Zemeckis, Jack Rapke and Steve Starkey will produce, [and] the intent is to adapt Stoneheart using performance-capture."
The Stoneheart Trilogy tells the story of a London boy who enters an alternate reality where statues come to life. The boy's presence in the alternate world disrupts the balance between good and evil, "and while dealing with such creatures as sphinxes and gargoyles, he teams with an orphan girl and the statue of a World War I gunner to try to set things right."
ImageMovers has two other "performance-capture" film projects in development: Mars Needs Moms, based on the children's novel by Berkeley Breathed, with Simon Wells (The Prince of Egypt, Balto) directing; and Airman based on an adaptation of Eoin Colfer's adventure book to be directed by Gil Kenan (Monster House).
