Paramount Re-Imagines Mark Twain’s Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer


Hollywood isn’t done with reboots and re-imaginings. Paramount Pictures draws inspiration from Universal’s latest re-imagining of Snow White and the Huntsman and is set to take on Mark Twain’s 19th century tale of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.

According to THR, Paramount has picked up Huck, a spec script by Andy Burg with Peter Chernin, Dylan Clark, and Matt Lopez attached to produce the project. Little detail is being released about the script thus far, but we do know that this re-imagining will follow an adult Sawyer and Finn and feature “supernatural elements.”

Are you ready for a re-imagining of this American classic? How will this project take these characters from Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to a modern day interpretation? Keep it here on SciFi Mafia and we’ll fill you in on the details!
