Mark Osbourne, one half of the directing duo for KUNG FU PANDA, will helm a new 3D animated film based on the book THE LITTLE PRINCE, according to Variety.
Based on the classic children’s novel by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince tells the story of a pilot who crashes in the Sahara desert (as de Saint-Exupéry was and did in real life) and who meets a young Prince, who lives on an asteroid called B-612. The Prince is currently on Earth as part of a journey to travel the universe, meeting adults on different planets and hearing their stories.
The film has a release date penciled in for 2014.
