The Secret of NIMH To Return As Adult-Targeted Animated Series
NIMH isn’t the first attempt at re-adapting from O’Brien and Conly’s (O’Briend’s daughter) source material. In 2009, Paramount hired Divergent director Niel Burger to pen the script for a live animation/adaptation of the story. MGM was on the list too. Now, according toDeadline,Fox is turning things up.
The report suggests that the network has given a script commitment toNIMHand is currently looking for a determined writer to get it all started. It’s actually a part of Fox’s initiative to create more animated content for older viewers. One such project is Dan Harmon’sKrapopolis. Previously, Fox President Michael Thorn said:
“We’re really ramping up our own content, making deals with creators to own our own animation. There are exceptions, where we’re working with other partners to help grow our slate, doing [The Flinstones project] Bedrock with Warner Bros and Clue with eOne, but ownership is definitely a key part of it.”
Looking at the past,MGMwas one of the studios that really madeNIMHpossible. Six years after Paramount tried, they hiredIce Agemovie writer to handle the screenplay after they picked up the rights of O’Brien’s book. MGM madeNIMHmovie adaptation until 2009. But as of now, it seems like it is only Fox who’s producingNIMH-related content as of now.
