Rudin on board 'Dangerous' movie for Disney

August 06, 2007 Producer Scott Rudin has acquired the much-coveted rights to Conn and Hal Iggulden's best-selling book "The Dangerous Book for Boys" and will produce the adaptation for Walt Disney Pictures. Disney executive vp production and development Brigham Taylor will oversee the big-screen version of the tongue-in-cheek manual, which gives today's coddled youth instructions on potentially hazardous activities, such as how build go-carts and make a bow and arrow. The literary-minded producer, who has a production deal with Disney and its specialty division, Miramax Films, has scored mainstream hits like Paramount Pictures' "Failure to Launch" and upscale Oscar winners including Miramax's "The Queen."
