It will be a long wait before the movie release since it will be released on May 6, 2011. That’s a long way from today! At least we know that the project is moving on. The name of the writer has not yet revealed though.

At least there’s a director. Johnston has directed Jumanji, Jurassic Park III, The Rocketeer, and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. He also won an Oscar in 1982 for Best Visual Effects for his work on the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark.
