Director Marielle Heller, who helmed the beautiful day in the neighborhood and night-bitch, is already locked in to lead the project. Producers on board includes Stacey Sherr, Susan or City Scheinberg, John Scheinberg, Matt Feige, Heller Heller herself, and Leah Holzer, with Moonly Singha, executive producing. No word yet on casting or whether it'll stick close to the original story. The movie follows berries in an Australian rainforest who shrink a logger named Zach to fairy-size, teaming up to fight-off loggers in a toxic villain, called Hexas. Williams voiced Badi Kota, the wild-bat scarred by human experiments, giving fans that unforgettable manic energy. It packed a star-studded voice cast like Samantha Mathis, Tim Curry, Christian Slater, Cheach Marin, and Tommy Chong, plus music from Elton John and Shina Easton.
