Juan Jose Campanella, director of foreign-language Oscar winner “The Secret in Their Eyes”, will be directing the big-screen adaptation of the children’s fantasy novel “Heck: Where The Bad Kids Go”.
Based on the Dale E. Basye and Bob Dob children’s book, the project is Campanella’s English-language debut.
Random House describes the book as:
“When Milton and Marlo Fauster die in a marshmallow bear explosion, they get sent straight to Heck, an otherworldly reform school. Milton can understand why his kleptomaniac sister is here, but Milton is—or was—a model citizen. Has a mistake been made? Not according to Bea ‘Elsa’ Bubb, the Principal of Darkness. She doesn’t make mistakes. She personally sees to it that Heck—whether it be home-ec class with Lizzie Borden, ethics with Richard Nixon, or gym with Blackbeard the Pirate—is especially, well, heckish for the Fausters. Will Milton and Marlo find a way to escape? Or are they stuck here for all eternity, or until they turn 18, whichever comes first?”
