THR reports that James Franco, Rachel McAdams, Jeff Bridges, Marion Cotillard, Benicio Del Toro and Paul Giamatti are set to voice characters in a feature adaptation of author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's classic 1943 French novella "The Little Prince" .

The story centers on a pilot (Bridges) who crash-lands in the Sahara desert and comes across a little boy who says he is a prince fallen to Earth from his home on an asteroid. As the pilot repairs his plane, the little prince regales him with stories about his home and the foolish inhabitants of nearby asteroids.

Mark Osborne ("Kung Fu Panda") will call action on the film.

Aton Soumache and Dimitri Rassam will produce.
