Marc Forster to helm “Thomas and Friends”

Marc Forster (“World War Z,” “Christopher Robin,” “Quantum of Solace”) has been set to direct a movie based on 75-year-old children’s franchise “Thomas the Tank Engine” and his locomotive friends.

The “Thomas & Friends” universe includes books, toys, games, and a TV series that is now in its 24th season. Forster is teaming with Mattel Films to helm and produce the feature.

Alyssa Hill and Jesse Wigutow penned the script. The project joins several other films Mattel has in development including the “Barbie” film at Warner,” the Daniel Kaluuya-produced “Barney” film, and a “Wishbone” movie at Universal.
