Walden Media acquires Simon Bloom: The Gravity Keeper

From DHD – Walden Media has acquired the rights to Michael Reisman’s Simon Bloom: The Gravity Keeper, and hired Adam F. Goldberg (Fanboys, Aliens in the Attic) to write the script.

Story follows a Simon, an eleven year old who discovers a book filled with scientific formulas that he and his friends learn to wield like magic spells. Together they battle a mysterious woman covered in tattoos of scientific formulas who is trying to take over the world.

Book Description:

This is the story of Simon Bloom, an imaginative 11-year old boy who finds the wondrous Teacher’s Edition of Physics (or does it find him?), a Book that lets him control the laws of Physics.

Simon and his friends, Owen and Alysha, have a great time with these powers, but unfortunately, they’re not the only ones who know about it. The Book belongs to a group, called the Order of Physics, who wants it back. Plus, there are two villains who will stop at nothing to get the Book for their own nasty plans. Of course, all of these people have their own science powers…and it’s only a matter of time before they find Simon and his friends.

With science as magic, almost anything is possible…but first you have to understand the rules to make it work!
