Jimmy Miller from Mosaic and Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's Gary Sanchez Productions is set to produce 'Manimal' for Sony Pictures Animation.
The feature, which is based on the 1983 TV series about a man who is able to convert into any animal, will also be produced by the show's original co-creator Glen A. Larson along with Jay Martel, and will be penned by Ian Roberts, Deadline.com reported.
McKay said that he believes that the project, which is a live-action/animation hybrid and yet to have a director, would be "funny and entertaining," and he hopes it is good enough to be the first film to win a Pulitzer.
