Andy Fickman has notched two hits for Disney by now, and the studio seems dead set on locking him down for good. After this weekend's success of Race to Witch Mountain, Fickman has been picked to direct another Disney adventure movie, Monster Attack Network.
The movie will be based on the graphic novel of the same name, about first-responders who protect a Pacific island nation from frequent attacks by sea monsters. Variety reports that Scott Elder and Josh Harmon will be writing the adaptation of Marc Bernardin and Adam Freeman's graphic novel.
The key word in the Variety article seems to be "tentpole," which suggests that Disney is handing Fickman an even higher-profile project than the ones he's done before. We still have to wait and see if Fickman sticks with the Rock, who has been his good luck charm thus far with Witch Mountain and The Game Plan. I'll see it only if the Rock is playing the sea monster.
