Garfield, best known for his roles in The Amazing Spider-Man and The Social Network, recently became attached to another project, with the star set to reunite with his Breathe co-star Claire Foy for The Magic Faraway Tree, an adaptation of Enid Blyton’s beloved children’s novel.
The film, which is being written by Paddington’s Simon Farnaby, will follow married couple Polly (Foy) and Tim (Garfield) and their three children, who find themselves forced to relocate to the countryside.
“Soon after the family's arrival in the countryside, the children discover a magical tree and its extraordinary and eccentric residents including treasured characters Moonface, Silky, Dame Washalot and Saucepan Man,” reads the logline.
“At the top of the tree, they are transported to spectacular and fantastical lands and, through the joys and challenges of their adventures, the family learn to reconnect and value each other for the first time in years.”
