Edgar Sawtelle: The Movie!!

Variety announces that Universal Pictures has acquired The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. It’s being produced by Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman of Playtone Pictures and Harpo Films partners Oprah Winfrey and Kate Forte. Much is being made of the fact that this is the first teaming of Oprah and Hanks.
