Harvey Weinstein is reuniting with his old nemesis Walt Disney Studios (now under different leadership), for a live-action adaptation of Eoin Colfer’s fantasy novels for children, Artemis Fowl. As Variety notes, “Weinstein has been working on a bigscreen version of Artemis Fowl since 2000.”

The film will be based on the first two books in the series. MTV is already speculating on which young actors should be considered for the lead as the 12-year-old Artemis.

The eighth and final novel in the series, The Last Guardian, (Disney Book Group), came out last year.
