Screenwriter Rob Lieber "Septimus Heap: Magyk" has been hired by Fox 2000 to adapt David Elliott's children's book "Jeremy Cabbage and the Living Museum of Human Oddballs and Quadruped Delights," says Variety.

Story is about a 11-year-old orphan Jeremy Cabbage, lives at Harpwitch's Home for Mean Dogs, Ugly Cats, and Strey Children. Jeremy’s only chance is a good adoption–but who would possibly adopt Jeremy, an unloved, unwanted 11-year-old? The answer sets Jeremy off on an outrageous, comical adventure.

Producer Karen Rosenfelt ("Marley & Me," "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse") is producing the movie through her Sunswept Entertainment banner.
