Columbia Pictures has acquired rights from Scholastic Media to bring R.L. Stine’s young-adult “Goosebumps” series to the bigscreen. “Goosebumps” has never been adapted for the bigscreen, despite selling 300 million books — a young-adult feat second only to Scholastic’s “Harry Potter” series . Scholastic’s Deborah Forte is producing alongside Neal Moritz via his Sony-based Original Film banner. Studio is fast-tracking the project and is focusing on finding a writer. (via Variety)
