Adam Sztykiel will write comedy script Housebroken for Walden Media, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Sztykiel's (Made Of Honour) story focuses on a group of talking animals who are forced to live under the same roof when their owners move in together.

Housebroken will mix CG and live-action footage in a similar way to Walden's recent films Prince Caspian and Charlotte's Web.

Walden co-CEO Michael Bostick said: "This is perfectly representative of the new direction for Walden in its broader definition of what a family film can mean.

"It's a great conceptual comedy with relatable family issues for adults and talking animals for kids."
