"Jack the Giant Killer" Writer to Pen "Goosebumps" adaptation for Columbia

Darren Lemke, writer of Jack the Giant Killer has signed on to write Columbia Pictures' big-screen adaptation of the children's horror series Goosebumps.

Columbia picked up the rights to the series of over 50 books back in 2008. Now with a writer attached, Columbia's wheels are in motion with successful material from a different media available for franchising.

While the project is still in the very beginning stages, the press has already begun to contribute to the marketing of this film with articles like this Hollywood Reporter article discussing the Goosebumps series, Lemke's previous work on films like Jack and the Giant Killer, and his recent attachment to the Goosebumps project.
