Jon Favreau is to write and produce Neanderthals, a CG-animated film for Sony Pictures Animation, says The Hollywood Reporter.
The trade adds that the project is based on the Elf director's own idea, though the specific plotline is "being kept in a cave under a large boulder protected by a mastadon" for the time being, according to the studio.
It was recently announced that Favreau would be directing the first in a probable series of fims based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' 'John Carter of Mars' stories for Paramount.
