Nearly two years after first being set up at MGM, the long-awaited adaptation Rats of Nimh finally has a director.
Jason Madigan, a visual effects specialist who has worked on The Hunger Games, Spectre and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, just to name a few, has come aboard to direct Rats of Nimh.
The animated adaptation spawned the 1998 sequel The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue.
Robert C. O’Brien’s original novel Mrs. Frisby & the Rats of Nimh was first published in 1971 and won the Newberry Medal a year later.
