HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | HOLLYWOOD Shekhar Kapur to direct a Hollywood fantasy flick31st Mar 2008 12.55 IST By ApunKaChoice India-born director Shekhar Kapur is set to direct a 200-million dollar fantasy flick for Hollywood production house Warner Brothers. The movie is said to be based on author Philip Reeve’s bestselling fantasy novel ‘Larklight’ that came out two years back. Now, Warner Bros. has bought the rights to make the novel into a big budget movie.
Shekhar Kapur, who signed the project three months back, has been collaborating with screenplay writer Steve Knight to come up with the most imaginative film. The movie will have creatures like giant spiders, mushroom man and space pirates created with the use of state-of-the-art VFX. ‘Larklight’ tells the story of two young siblings – Arthur Mumby aka Art and his elder sister Myrtle – who live in Larklight, a huge house that orbits around the moon. They have to leave their house after it is invaded by white spiders. Art and Myrtle crash land on moon and thereafter begins an adventurous journey to the outer reaches of the solar system. Shekhar still has to finalize the actors for the movie. At the budget of 200 million dollars, ‘Larklight’ would be the most expensive film Shekhar has directed so far. By the way, he would also direct a short film that was initially supposed to be made by his good friend Anthony Minghella, who died a few weeks back.
