In the early 1990s, producers Ben Myron & Roland Joffé, at Lightmotive with Tristar Pictures, were set to produce a film adaptation of the book with Seuss penning the screenplay.[4] A revised draft dated 8 May 1992 and penned by Richard LaGravenese was scripted, but the adaptation was never filmed.[citation needed] An animated film adaptation of the book along with The Cat in the Hat and a spinoff Thing One and Thing Two are in development from Warner Animation Group. J.J Abrams is producing the film alongside his production company Bad Robot Productions.
