Tom McCarthy will be writing the adaptation of the graphic novel TOMMYSAURUS REX and also has his eye on directing the project.
The source material, written by Doug TenNapel, centers on a young, friendless boy who loses his golden retriever in a car accident, prompting him to go to his grandfather’s dairy farm where he befriends a T-Rex. Cale Boyter and Mary Parent will produce.
McCarthy last directed “Win Win” and “The Visitor” and his next project is “The Cobbler.”
He is repped by Gersh.
