Back in 2009 there were reports that a movie based on the popular puzzler books, Where’s Waldo?, was being developed by producer Chris Meledandri through his Illumination Entertainment for Universal Pictures. Before that, the project was set up at Paramount Pictures with Like Mike and Aliens in the Attic director John Schultz attached.

Now the movie has yet another new home, this time the recovering MGM. President of Motion Picture Group Jonathan Glickman made the announcement, which will see the Martin Handford character getting its own feature-length live-action family adventure movie.
