“Rugrats” co-creator Gábor Csupó is set to direct a feature-length adaptation of Rumer Godden’s children’s Christmas classic book “The Story of Holly and Ivy.”
“Lonely young Ivy runs away from her orphanage during Christmas, while spirited but unsold doll Holly waits in her toy store window for the child who will give her existence meaning,” reads the official logline. “When their paths cross and their quest to be together unfolds, a surprising array of many struggling folk’s Christmas wishes come true.”
Kosmo Films’ Sebastian Weiland and Nina Gwyn Weiland acquired the film rights and will produce the feature. Nina Gwyn Weiland has written the screen adaptation together with “A Wrinkle in Time” writer Jeff Stockwell, who will also executive produce.Films will also produce while Germany-based Medienfördergesellschaft Baden-Württemberg is providing development funding.
Stockwell added: “This is a holiday treat with ingredients I can’t resist: Rumer Godden’s time-tested Christmas heart-melter; Nina and Sebastian’s infectious enthusiasm for the project; Gabor’s ever-sparkling and just-the-right-amount-of-edgy/quirky visionary energy – and another chance to indulge my lifelong love of finding and expanding on the spirit of a great childrens’ story.”
