    According to the Hollywood Reporter, the studio plans on adapting the famous Mark Twain novels into a film called “Huck and Tom.”

    But! There’s a catch: The story will feature Sawyer and Finn as grown-ups, and include “supernatural elements.” (Initiate mass groan from literature aficionados.)

    “Huck and Tom” is… Continue reading 'Huck And Tom': Mark Twain's 'Tom Sawyer' And 'Huckleberry Finn' Gets Another Movie Adaptation
