In an article with the headline “Fox on Elephant”, Variety reports:

Fox [Ed. - Fox as in the movie studio, not MEGAN FOX NUDE PLAYING PING PONG WITH DIORA BAIRD]  is moving ahead on “The Magician’s Elephant,” tapping Martin Hynes (“The Go-Getter”) to adapt Kate DiCamillo’s soon-to-be-published children’s book.
Julia Pistor is producing.
Story centers on impossible things that may happen when a fortune teller tells an orphan boy that an elephant will lead him to his long-lost sister.

That’s right, Fox bought the movie rights for book that isn’t even out yet.  Why wait to see if kids like it before shoving it down their parents’ throats?  Kate DiCamillo wrote Because of Winn Dixie and The Tale of Despereaux, and those are both movies now, so that’s all Fox needs to know.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go rub icey hot on my knuckles because they’re sore from punching the monitor.  Which reminds me, Fox just picked up my spec script for an X-Men reboot called “Icey Hot”.  It’s about the little-mentioned secret love affair between Ice Man and Pyro when they were 16 years old.  Bryan Singer is very interested in shooting this.
