Edgar Wright Charts "Grasshopper Jungle"

Edgar Wright will direct the film adaptation of author Andrew Smith's young adult novel "Grasshopper Jungle" says Deadline.


 The story follows an Iowa teen trying to come to grips with his own sexuality as he and his friends cause a deadly genetically engineered plague that unleashes an army of six-foot-tall praying mantises with an insatiable appetite for fighting, food, and fornicating.

Scott Rosenberg ("Beautiful Girls") is writing the adapted script.

Rosenberg, Matt Tolmach and Nira Park will produce the pic.

Work will take place for "Grasshopper" after Wright helms"Baby Driver" which has only been described as a collision of crime, action, music and sound.
