Warner Bros. and Red Wagon have lined up Kevin Lima (Enchanted) to direct Tom Thumb, a live-action take on the origins of the tiny character.

Red Wagon's Doug Wick and Lucy Fisher will produce, with Chris Chase executive producing.

The story, written by Robert Rodat (Saving Private Ryan), is centered on an arrogant knight who's shrunk to 6 inches while assigned to protect a princess and then discovers what it means to be a real hero.

Variety says Warner Bros. is aiming to develop the film as a tentpole project with worldwide appeal.

Sounds totally different to the 1958 original! I thought that was a classic!

We'll wait and see what happens here...

I don't remember Tom Thumb being a knight. They shouldn't be allowed to call it Tom Thumb if it has to relation to the original material.

Well, his previous work was great... but this isn't Tom Thumb... Make it more like the story, or give it a new name and I'm sure it'll be great.

I work with Tom Thumb... he's my boss.
I think he's going to make a great movie character.
Actually, he kinda looks like Joe Pesci !
