Zappa's Disney-based Monsterfoot Productions and Overbrook Entertainment are developing and will produce the film, which is supposedly being looked at as a vehicle for Karate Kid star Jaden Smith. (No wonder - Overbrook is the production company of Jaden's pop, Will.)
Zappa's love of monsters is well documented, especially if you've been checking out I Am Rogue's Spotlight Series! If you click right HERE, you can watch the entire collection of interviews with Zappa, as he discusses his book The Monstrous Memoirs of a Mighty McFearless, which is also coming to the big screen in conjunction with Disney. The Mouse House is also working on Zappa's The Secret Life of Timothy Green, currently a priority for the studio.
I think it's safe to say that Zappa and the studio are building on a monstrously beautiful friendship.
