Though the novel series Diary of a Wimpy Kid has sold more than 20 million copies, I have somehow never heard of it. Steve Zahn must have, as he's agreed to star in the adaptation of the novel(s).
Steve Zahn for Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Written by author Jeff Kinney, the Diary of a Wimpy Kid novels follow a middle-school student during the course of a school year. Zachary Gordon will play the title role, with Zahn and Rachael Harris portraying his parents. Robert Capron will portray his best friend, and Devon Bostick will play his brother.
The adaptation will be directed by Thor Freudenthal off a script by writing teams Jeff Filgo & Jackie Filgo and Jeff Judah & Gabe Sachs.
Zahn can next be seen in A Perfect Getaway, which just so happens to be opening to theaters this weekend.
