Stephen Herek, who last directed Tommy Lee Jones cheerleader comedy Man Of The House, has found something a little subtler for his next job.
He’s been hired to adapt and direct Einstein’s Children, which is based on Mike Kersjes’ memoir A Smile As Big As The Moon.
Kersjes was a special needs teacher in Michigan, who lobbied to get his class into space camp at NASA. Though the programme is usually reserved for gifted students, the officials relented and let the class attend.
There’s no cast attached yet.
