Mike Johnson has signed on to direct The Tale of Despereaux for Universal Pictures after Sylvain Chomet dropped out. The movie will be based on the Kate DiCamillo kids book The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread, and will follow several unlikely heroes: a misfit mouse who prefers reading books to eating them, the princess that he cherishes, a bumbling servant girl who longs to be a princess and an unhappy rat who schemes to leave the darkness of the dungeon.
