CHILDREN OF THE LAMP

Live-action Feature Film (Paramount Pictures)

Director

CHILDREN OF THE LAMP is a live-action fantasy-adventure feature developed at Paramount, based on the young adult book series by P.B. Kerr. I was attached to direct the film for Paramount, with Nina Jacobson (Color Force) producing. Originally written by David Guion & Michael Handelman with Henry Gayden writing subsequent drafts, the project is a modern family adventure about two siblings who discover they come from a powerful line of djinn — and are pulled into a hidden world where magic is real, wishes are dangerous, and getting what you want comes at a cost.
