It would be interesting to see who they get to play Tom. Hope its alot better than what they've come up for the HB one. I love watching time travel and sci-fi movies. Can't wait to see what they do with this.

I don't think they'll do a worse casting job than they have planned for the Hardy Men. By the sounds of it, they're trying to stay faithful to the books.

[quote]Columbia Pictures has nabbed "Swift," a pitch by Barry Sonnenfeld and Ben David Grabinski that is described as a reimagining of the Tom Swift adventure novels.

...

Sonnenfeld and Grabinski's version would feature Swift as one-half of a father-son team who are among the greatest inventors of all time.
