Liber’s script is one of several circulating around the Sony lot. Lieber’s treatment is not believed to have a role for Jack Black, the comic actor who starred in the first “Goosebumps” film as horror author R. L. Stine, although sources caution that Black could still come on board the project if his schedule allows. Currently there’s no deal in place for him to come back to the family friendly series.
