MGM's Senior VP Cassidy Lange will oversee the project, with Daniel Bobker and Ehren Kruger producing. Currently, the plan is to turn NIMH into a franchise.
O'Brien's original novel spawned two book sequels, as well as a 2D animated film, The Secret of NIMH, directed by Don Bluth in 1982. (That film was also produced by MGM.)
