Mike Newell will direct "The Box of Delights," the big-screen adaptation of John Masefield's 1930s children's novel.
According to Variety, Frank Cottrel Boyce, whose credits include "Millions," "Code 46" and "The Claim," is adapting the book, which follows a boy who recieves a magic box allowing him to travel through time.
Newell's credits include "Four Weddings and a Funeral," "Donnie Brasco" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."
He's currently working on the post-production for his upcoming action flick "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," based on the popular video game.
Final word: By the way, here are two of Newell's films I saw and didn't like: "Mona Lisa Smile" and "Love in the Time of Cholera."
