Puss in Boots writer to pen Micronauts movie

Mego’s line of popular interchangable Micronauts action figures from the 1970s is returning in the form of a new live action movie.

Deadline reports that Tom Wheeler, the writer of Puss in Boots, is penning the latest draft of the film, with Paramount and JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot heading development. 

The film has been in development for six years, with previous drafts written by Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
