If you didn’t get your fill of hipster kid-lit adaptations with Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox or Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are , you’ll be happy to know that this trend has one more trick up its sleeve. According to Variety , Ben Stiller is set to reteam with his Greenberg director Noah Baumbach (who also cowrote Mr. Fox with Wes Anderson) on a film version of the 1938 classic children’s book Mr. Popper’s Penguins, written by Richard and Florence Atwater’s Mr. Popper’s Penguins .
