Deadline reports that Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort company is producing an I Eat Poop. I Eat Poop: A Dung Beetle Story is a popular children’s book by Mark Pett. The story is about an insect who learns to stand up for himself after being bullied for his culinary preferences.
Josh Cooley is currently in talks to direct the picture. A description of the I Eat Poop book reads, “Dougie has a secret: he’s not a ground beetle. He’s a dung beetle, and he loves eating poop. Dougie knows he should be proud. Dung beetles help process waste and do other extraordinary things! But Dougie also knows that if anyone at school saw his lunch, he’d be an outcast. One day, the lunchroom bugs out over a classmate eating poop, and Dougie must make a choice. Can he stand up for his friend―and for his true self?”
