Marco Brambilla To Take 'Tears Of The Sun'

[Thursday, October 31st, 2002]
Marco Brambilla ("Dinotopia") has come aboard to helm Paramount Pictures/Nickelodeon Films' "Sector Seven," reports The Hollywood Reporter.

The special effects-laden live-action project, written by Zack Helm, is based on the 1999 illustrated children's book of the same name by David Wiesner.

It is a fantastical tale about a little boy who, on a class visit to the Empire State Building, gets whisked away by a friendly cloud to Sector Seven, a factorylike place where clouds are shaped and then distributed. The clouds ask him to draw them new shapes, and he does. By the time he is discovered by those who run the factory and is sent back down to rejoin his class, his new shapes are already in the sky.

There is no start date yet.
