Anthony Horowitz’s best-selling novel "Stormbreaker" is about to hit the big screens courtesy of Bob & Harvey Weinstein’s new firm and a handful of UK production companies. Variety explains that the story’s about…

… "a 14-year-old orphan who has been unwittingly trained all his life by his uncle with the skills to become a secret agent – scuba diving, mountaineering, martial arts and so on. When his guardian, an MI6 agent, is killed, Rider learns the truth and finds himself forced against his will to take on a dangerous mission for the British secret service." Geoffrey Sax ("White Noise") will be in the director’s chair when production starts on July 4th, with Mr. Horowitz adapting his own story into screenplay form.
