Jodie Foster and Abigail Breslin ("Little Miss Sunshine") have signed up for Walden Media's next family-oriented feature, "Nim's Island," which is set to begin shooting in the Australian state of Queensland in early July, according to Queensland Arts Minister Rod Welford.
Produced by Paula Mazer, with husband and wife team Mark Levin and Jennifer Flackett writing and directing, "Nim's Island" is based on Wendy Orr's award winning book, which tells the story of a young girl who inhabits an isolated island with her scientist father and communicates with a reclusive author of the novel she's reading.
