According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 41-year-old actor – who voices a character in new animation “The Boss Baby” – is to step behind the camera for the first time on the film, which is inspired by the novella.
This development has been sitting on the shelf for years after rumours that Leonardo DiCaprio was interested in the adaptation of the 2013 book. However, the project fell through due to a scheduling conflict.
Now Tobey’s production company Material Pictures and Lawrence Grey’s Grey Matter Productions have taken up the rights and it is rumoured they are developing the idea.
