Disney buy film rights for Dangerous Book For Boys

Producer Scott Rudin and Disney have picked up the rights to the best-selling book, The Dangerous Book for Boys by brothers Conn and Hal Iggulden. It is reported that several studios were eyeing up the right to the film in spite of the fact that there isn’t really that much of a story.

The book is written in a “how-to” format, with chapters on topics like “Building a Treehouse,” “Skimming Stones,” “Making a Go-Cart,” and “Girls”.

Publisher HarperCollins has said,

In this digital age there is still a place for knots, skimming stones and stories of incredible courage. This book recaptures Sunday afternoons, stimulates curiosity, and makes for great father-son activities. The brothers Conn and Hal have put together a wonderful collection of all things that make being young or young at heart fun—building go-carts and electromagnets, identifying insects and spiders, and flying the world’s best paper airplanes.

The general buzz is that the movie will probably be about the struggle fathers face in raising their sons and balancing a natural instinct to shelter them from harm with their sons’ natural desire for adventure and even a bit of danger.
