Edgar Wright, who departed Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man due to "creative differences" in late May, can’t seem to get the insect world out of his system—he just signed on to direct a version of the YA novel Grasshopper Jungle for Sony. Written by Andrew Smith Duncan, Grasshopper Jungle is a coming-of-age saga about a teen boy and his friends who mistakenly create a plague of giant 6-foot tall praying mantises that they have to battle.
Deadline is reporting that Scott Rosenberg is writing the adaptation of Duncan’s novel.
