According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sony Pictures is currently in the process of developing a live-action film adaptation of Crockett Johnson’s popular children’s book titled Harold and the Purple Crayon with Shazam! star Zachary Levi attached to star in the project.
He will next be seen in American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story, The Unbreakable Boy, and the highly-anticipated Shazam sequel.
The film adaptation will be penned by writing duo David Guion and Michael Handelman (Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb).
The book was then followed by six other books and was also adapted into a TV series by HBO in 2001-2002.
