It would appear that Columbia Pictures pays attention to their daily Film School Reject feed. Last month we wrote a story about LiLo’s sister being in a film adaptation of R.L.

The Scholastic series will be hitting the big screen with the help of spokesperson Deborah Forte and uber-producer Neal Moritz (Fast and the Furious, I Am Legend) for Columbia Pictures. According to Yahoo!, work on the film will begin right away, though a writer and director have not been chosen. It’s also not been announced whether or not they will adapt a previous Goosebumps story or create a new one.
