Overview
- Reports published Tuesday say Craig Gillespie has entered talks to direct Homewreckers for Legendary with Glen Powell expected to star and produce, though the studio declined to comment.
- Homewreckers is based on a novella by Neil Paik and Paik is reported to be adapting the material for the screenplay, with key plot details being kept private.
- The project has been in development at Legendary since it won a competitive package in December 2024 and remains at an early stage with no release date announced.
- Legendary separately announced an official partnership with Scholastic Entertainment to develop a live‑action feature of The Magic School Bus with Rob Letterman attached to write and direct and Elizabeth Banks set to produce and play Ms. Frizzle.
- The moves reflect how studios reposition intellectual property after rights lapse elsewhere and how attaching star directors and actors is used to build a marketable development slate.
