Steven Spielberg's film company DreamWorks has acquired the rights to the science fiction novel Chocky by John Wyndham:
DreamWorks picks up 'Chocky' rights
Steven Spielberg would like to direct the film himself but there is a complication due to Dreamworks' recent spilt with Paramount to become an independent company.
Coincidentally I recently got the three Chocky TV serials from the 1980s just before learning about Dreamworks getting the rights to it. Good timing.
All three Chocky TV serials was written by former Doctor Who script editor Anthony Read. Also the first two were co-directed and produced by Vic Hughes who had been the producer of The Tomorrow People.
