Next up to be rebooted is\u2026*spins wheel*\u2026The Borrowers<\/em><\/strong>. Because sure, why not? We\u2019ve all agreed that there are no more new ideas so it\u2019s best to just keep rebooting things forever until the sun burns out, and it\u2019s been almost 25 years since Hollywood gave this one a go. The latest adaptation will be based on the\u00a0Mary Norton book series<\/a> of the same that follows a family of extremely tiny people who live in the walls and floors of a house. That sounds kind of disturbing when I type it out like that, but this is meant to be a heartwarming, family-friendly tale.<\/p>\n

Deadline has the scoop on\u00a0The Borrowers<\/em> reboot, reporting that\u00a0Universal Pictures and Working Title are working on an \u201cupdated\u201d version of the children\u2019s book published back in 1952. The book spawned several sequels:\u00a0The Borrowers Afield<\/em>,\u00a0The Borrowers Afloat<\/em>, The Borrowers Aloft<\/em>, and The Borrowers Avenged<\/em>.\u00a0The Borrowers Avenged<\/em> sounds like the coolest entry based on the title alone, but having not read the series, I can\u2019t confirm for sure.
\nIn the original book, \u201cThe Borrowers\u2014the Clock family: Homily, Pod, and their fourteen-year-old daughter, Arrietty, to be precise\u2014are tiny people who live underneath the kitchen floor of an old English country manor. All their minuscule home furnishings, from postage stamp paintings to champagne cork chairs, are \u2018borrowed\u2019 from the \u2018human beans\u2019 who tromp around loudly above them. All is well until Pod is spotted upstairs by a human boy! Can the Clocks stay nested safely in their beloved hidden home, or will they be forced to flee?\u201d<\/p>\n

Sausage Party\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0The Addams Family\u00a0<\/em>director\u00a0Conrad Vernon<\/strong> is in talks to helm the movie from a script<\/a> by\u00a0Patrick Burleigh<\/strong> (Peter Rabbit 2: the Runaway<\/em>).\u00a0The Borrowers<\/em> has been adapted several times already. There was a 1973 American made-for-TV movie and a BBC TV series that launched in 1992. In 1997 we got a feature film adaptation starring John Goodman. The\u00a0Studio Ghibli film\u00a0The Secret World of Arrietty\u00a0<\/em>is also based on the book. There\u2019s also a 2011 BBC movie and an animated series. And now there\u2019s this latest reboot to join the list. Deadline reports that the plan is to make this a live-action movie, similar to the 1997 film. Speaking of which, here\u2019s an extremely non-HD trailer for that.<\/p>\n
