If You Build It...

Indie house Helix Films Inc and the Meccano Toys are teaming to develop an original 3-D flick based on the company's "Erector" set toy line reports Variety

The toys began in England in 1901 as a model construction system which enables the building of working models and mechanical devices. The products are currently sold in more than 80 countries.

The tone will be a family fantasy/adventure but plot details are being kept quiet. The project is developing an original script with the aim of creating a film franchise.

You just wait I'm telling ya Lincoln Logs and Slinky films are coming down the pike...
