Judy Moody Childrens Book Coming to the Big Screen!

Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer,” based on characters from the popular children’s book series, is headed to the big screen and looking for its ‘Judy.’ Smokewood Entertainment, the producers of the Academy Award-winning film “Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire,” director John Schultz (“Aliens in the Attic”) and Julie Ashton Casting are conducting a nationwide search for an 8-12 year old girl to play ‘Judy,’ the exuberant, funny, hair-challenged and independent 3rd-grader. The family film begins production in August and will be released in summer 2011. Submissions are due by June 30!

SYNOPSIS: Judy Moody was in a mood… a best-summer-ever mood! R A R E ! But that was before she found out that Mom and Dad were heading to California and Aunt Awful was coming to stay. Not to mention, her two best friends were going splitsville on her, for the whole entire summer! Will she, Judy Moody, be stuck with her little brother Stink? Stink, who has Bigfoot on the brain? Just when summer is starting to look Bor-ing with a capital B—Eureka!—Judy Moody (with a little help from Aunt Opal) comes up with the most thrill-a-delic plan ever. She challenges her friends in a thrill-point race for the most mega-rare NOT bummer summer. Can Frank Eats-Paste Pearl help save summer? The race is on! All she has to do is…learn to walk a tightrope, surf a monster wave, ride the Scream Monster—no hands!—make it all the way through an Evil Creature Double Feature, and survive… a poop picnic! Take a few thrills and chills, add a treasure hunt for Judy’s teacher, a midnight stakeout, a runaway ice-cream truck, and a chase scene with a dash of Bigfoot. What have you got? The Judy Moodiest summer ever!
