'Enchanted' Director Hears From 'Tom'

Warner Bros. Pictures and Red Wagon Entertainment have lined up director Kevin Lima (Enchanted) to helm Tom Thumb, a live-action take on the origins of the tiny character, Daily Variety reported.

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

The project, penned by Robert Rodat ("Saving Private Ryan", Last Town on Earth), centers 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.

Warner Bros. Pictures is aiming to develop Thumb as a tentpole project with worldwide appeal. The Tom Thumb character originated in English folklore in the 16th century, while thumb-sized heroes have appeared in cultures throughout the world.
