Wolf Boy: A Novel
Count on The Weinstein Company to pick up something as daring as Wolf Boy. Based on Evan Kuhlman's Wolf Boy: A Novel, the film will creatively mix live action and animation.
TWC to Adapt Wolf Boy
While one would assume that the story would cover some small, furry creature, Wolf Boy goes an entirely different direction.
The novel tells the story of the Wolf family, which loses a son in a car accident. The other son channels his grief into the creation of a comicbook superhero based on his brother called Wolf Boy.
Irwin Winkler and Jill Cutler will produce through their banner Winkler Films.
"I was particularly moved by Wolf Boy's story about the power of art to enhance our lives," Harvey Weinstein said.
Winkler followed with: "What appealed to me most was the young man who finds refuge in the creation of this graphic novel and how that impacts the process of healing between the boy and his father."
I chimed in with: "That should have audiences rolling in the aisles."
