Jason Reitman will write and direct “Beekle,” an adaptation of an award-winning children’s book, for DreamWorks Animation, the studio announced Wednesday.

“The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend” is the story of an imaginary friend who is so odd and so unique that no kid could possibly imagine him. So he decides to take matters into his own hands, and sets off on a journey to the land of people in search of a best friend.

“Beekle” is the first project to be put into development by DreamWorks Animation’s recently appointed co-presidents of feature animation Bonnie Arnold and Mireille Soria.
