'The Memory Theif' movie in works

A live-action version of novel "The Memory Theif" is in works at Fox animations.
Written by Bryce Moore, the novel centers on 12-year-old twins Benji and Kelly, who wander off at the local county fair after witnessing their parents argue.
When Benji runs into a group of bullies, he escapes into a tent called the Memory Emporium, where he meets a strange, old man who shows him a vivid memory of a fighter pilot. Benji then realizes that the ability to erase memories could help his parents stop fighting with each other. He soon learns how to manipulate memories, but the power comes at a cost to his family, and his own mind.

The film will be set up with Adaptive Studios and Shawn Levy's Fox-based 21 Laps.
