Larry Karaszewski and Scott Alexander ("Ed Wood," "The People vs. Larry Flynt") are in negotiations to pen the script for Sony Pictures live-action feature adaptation of children's horror series "Goosebumps" says The Hollywood Reporter.

The "Goosebumps" series comprises more than 50 books that often pay homage to classic sci-fi/horror movies.

Producer Neal Moritz has said he likely will cast youngsters for the leads and then include well-known actors in supporting roles, a la the "Harry Potter" films.
