Paramount Pictures confirmed that it is developing a live action version of THE TRUMPET OF THE SWAN, based on E.B. White's final children's book, which would include some CGI animation. Katie Ford (co-writer of MISS CONGENIALITY) will script. This marks the second film adaptation of THE TRUMPET OF THE SWAN. Back in 2001, Rich-Crest Animation produced an animated feature directed by Terry Noss and Richard Rich.
The story concerns a trumpeter swan named Louis, who, unlike his four brothers and sisters, is unable to trumpet at all, and desperately wants to win the heart of a beautiful swan through music.
White is also known for writing the children's books STUART LITTLE and CHARLOTTE'S WEB.
Bill Desowitz, former editor of VFXWorld, is currently the Crafts Editor of IndieWire.
