Castle Rock has acquired Zoe Green’s action-adventure pitch entitled “Book of Shadows,” with Rob Reiner attached to direct.

The Hollywood Reporter says the plot centers on a man who encounters the challenges of first love and maturity on his quest to close a book that could restore balance to the world.

Reiner apparently came up with the original idea, while Green picked up on the project and developed it further.

Reiner most recently directed “The Bucket List.” His credits also include “When Harry Met Sally” and “A Few Good Men.”

Final word: This premise just sounds incredibly odd. Don’t know at all what to make out of this at this stage.
