There’s going to be a “Little House on the Prairie” movie
Paramount Pictures will be developing a film version of Little House on the Prairie after Sony dropped it.
The wholesome family TV drama, which aired from 1974 to 1982, was based on the books of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Her books reflected her upbringing in 19th century rural Minnesota, filled with family fun, simple pleasures and enduring life lessons.
The film is set to be directed by Sean Durkin, who is known for his Sundance hit Martha Marcy May Marlene. The script will come from Abi Morgan, from The Iron Lady and Suffragette fame.
The television series starred Michael Landon and Melissa Gilbert, and also featured guest stars such as Anne Archer, James Cromwell and Sean Penn.
