Universal Pictures has bought the film rights to Go Mutants!, author Larry Doyle's next novel. Set to be published by HarperCollins in the summer of 2010, the book supposes that cinema's cosmic and terrestrial threats from the 1950s were real and that the grandkids of the alien invaders and mutants have now completely assimilated into suburban life and are going to ordinary high school.

Imagine's Brian Grazer will produce while the company's David Bernardi and William Horberg will executive produce. [Full story]
