Paramount Pictures is set to make the first installment of a fantasy trilogy
Stoneheart, says Variety.
The feature follows a shy 12-year-old on a class trip to London's war museum knocks the head off a stone dragon and quickly finds himself menaced by stone serpents that adorned the museum and have come to life. The kid is saved by the bronze statue of a soldier.
"It's a concept that has been working around my head since I was 6, since I went to Hyde Park and saw the large war memorial with this spectacular sculpture of this WWI soldier who just looks tired, exhausted and heroic," said producer Scott Rudin.
