According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sony Pictures Animation has acquired film rights to the classic children's book CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS, which it is actively developing as a feature film.

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS will be based on the illustrated book by Judi Barrett and Ron Barrett which imagines a fanciful world where it rains juice and snows mashed potatoes and spaghetti. The movie's plot will center around a scientist who tries to solve world hunger only to see things go awry as food falls from the sky in abundance.
