Variety has learned that Max Landis, scribe of the highly successful sci-fi Chronicle – has sold his original pitch, Woogles, to Timur Bekmambetov’s banner Bazelevs. Landis and Bekmabetov will produce the “edgy family adventure” feature, with Teen Wolf scribes Nick Antosca and Ned Vizzini writing the script, based on a story by Landis.
