How many of you all remember this...
According to Reuters a new film version of "Rats of NIMH" is in the making. Paramount studios is developing a feature version of the Newbery Medal-winning children's book "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH." The Illusionist director Neil Burger is said to write the screenplay. The movie would be the second theatrical go-round for the book, which MGM brought to the screen in 1982 as the animated The Secret of NIMH.
The story centers on a mouse -- the titular Mrs. Frisby, renamed Mrs. Brisby in the MGM movie -- faced with a crisis when her son falls ill and she must move her family to escape a farmer's plow. Mrs. Frisby enlists a group of former lab rats, whom she soon discovers possess advanced technologies and run a highly evolved society, dividing labor in the manner of a human community.
"Those familiar with "NIMH" noted, however, that the material has elements of a parable and reflects more serious ideas than the light comedy of G-Force."
