Paramount has purchased film rights for screenwriter Charlie Fletcher's contemporary novel "Stoneheart," which is scheduled for publication in September in the USA & UK says The Hollywood Reporter.
Producers Scott Rudin and Lorenzo di Bonaventura will team for the first time to produce the movie, which has franchise potential as Fletcher plans to complete a trilogy.
In "Stoneheart," London statues of famous people come alive to re-enact their history -- much like 20th Century Fox's holiday comedy "Night at the Museum," which brings animals and insects to life at New York's Museum of Natural History.
