MGM adapting Adam Green's spec for KILLER PIZZA?

Movie MGM by

We've heard of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, but never Killer Pizza's. Deadline is reporting that MGM is in talks to buy Adam Green's spec script for Killer Pizza. The spec is an adaptation of Greg Taylor's book about "a 14-year old boy who lands a summer job at a pizza joint that is actually a front for a monster hunting enterprise."

Rafaella De Laurentiis may produce along with 1492 Pictures and CJ Entertainment. 1492's Chris Columbus brought the project to MGM after hearing that the studio execs were interested in a "Gremlins and Goonies-type project. 

Gremlins and Goonies are two movies that I have a lot of love for, so this is great news. What are your thoughts on Killer Pizza coming to the big screen?

Here is a description of the book from Amazon:

Pizza you’ll die for!

Toby McGill dreams of becoming a world-famous chef, but up until now, his only experience has been watching the Food Network. When Toby lands a summer job at Killer Pizza, where pies like The Monstrosity and The Frankensausage are on the menu, things seem perfect. His coworkers, Annabel and Strobe, are cool, and Toby loves being part of a team. But none of them are prepared for what’s really going on at Killer Pizza: It’s a front for a monster-hunting organization!

Learning to cook pizzas is one thing, but killing hideously terrifying monsters? That’s a whole other story. Still, if Toby quits Killer Pizza, will monsters take over his town?
