Steven Spielberg Looking to Direct “39 Clues”

Director Steven Spielberg is reportedly eyeing the director’s chair for the upcoming feature film project “39 Clues.” The movie rights for “39 Clues” were just purchased by DreamWork’s studio, with Deborah Forte set to produce and Jeff Nathanson adapting the script.

“39 Clues” is a book series that will soon be extended to include six books in the series after the announcement of a new set coming out in the series. Novelist David Baldacci is the author behind the series entitled “The 39 Clues: Cahills vs. Vespers.”

Spielberg is working the film “War Horse” currently. That film is a loose adaptation of the children’s book from 1982 with the same title.
