"...I'm Just Drawn That Way"

The Hollywood Reporter tells us that Jeff Kinney's bestselling "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" quintet's worth of novels is being made into a live-action family film series.

The books chronicle the life and times of middle school student Greg Heffley as he tries to navigate its many pitfalls.

Nina Jacobson is set to produce the first flick, with the potential for a sequels down the road. The hunt is on for a writer and a director for the project.

While I have never read any of the books--One of the unique things about the popular books surely is the simple animation that Kinney uses. And while the words and tone can be duplicated on the big screen-the hand drawn fun is gonna get lost in translation.
