Mike Jones' screenplay THE MINOTAUR TAKES A CIGARETTE BREAK from Steven Sherrill's novel was optioned by The Gotham Group, reports VARIETY.
THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES producer Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Lindsay Williams will produce. Sherrill's 2000 book is about the mythical half-man, half-bull minotaur who, instead of succumbing to Theseus 3,000 years ago, now lives in a Wichita trailer park and works as a short-order cook at a run-down diner.
Producers are looking for a director for the live-action project.
