Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Films are gearing up to develop a safari family adventure based on an idea by Jeff Lowell and Matt Lopez.
According to Variety, the plot follows a family that encounters dangerous wild animals and a bunch of ruthless bad guys on a safari trip in Africa.
Lowell, whose credits include the terrible “Over Her Dead Body” and the upcoming “Hotel for Dogs,” is writing the script.
As for Lopez, he recently penned the scripts for “Bedtime Stories” and “Race to Witch Mountain.”
Final word: Another safari family flick from Paramoiunt and Nickelodeon? Sounds like a live-action version of “The Wild Thornberrys Movie.” Me not like this idea.
