Although Feig is best known for his adult comedies, The Sweetest Fig movie will not be his first family film as he previously directed the 2006 children’s movie Unaccompanied Minors.
According to Deadline, 20th Century Fox has struck a deal to adapt Chris Van Allsburg’s 1993 children’s book The Sweetest Fig to the screen with Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Ghostbusters: Answer the Call) directing.
Van Allsburg will produce The Sweetest Fig movie alongside his film partners William Teitler, Mike Weber and Ted Field, with Feigco’s Jessie Henderson also producing.
Monsieur Bibot refused to believe such nonsense and proceeded to eat one of the figs for a bedtime snack.
