Smith Siblings Board Amulet

March 14, 2008

Acting siblings Willow (I Am Legend) and Jaden Smith (The Pursuit of Happyness) are attached to star in Warner Bros. Pictures' adaptation of Kazu Kibuishi's "Amulet." Akiva Goldsman's Weed Road and Will Smith and James Lassiter's Overbrook Entertainment will produce.

The graphic novel centers on a brother and sister who move into their late great-grandfather's home after their father dies. They must use his amulet to rescue their widowed mother from a beast who lures her into an underground world.

Five books are planned in the Scholastic series, with the second installment scheduled for release this year.

That's great, America's own little Harry Potter like series. The genes have definately been passed on and it will be good practice for them in future years.

Well, they will have to change up the story a little to make the ages of the kids work (in the book the sister is older)--but it will be fun to see this version! Will Smith (and family) is awesome, I think they will make a great family adventure. Can't wait to see the house robot.

Hey, thats great! i had never heard of this until i picked up a copy at the book store. The art is great and the story is very easy to follow with out losing your interest. Hopefully the film will be better then spiderwick.
