Producer Trudie Styler has acquired film rights for her Xingu Films production company to Joshua Doder's "Grk" children's book trilogy. In the books, which have been compared to the Tin-Tin comics series, a dog teams with 12-year-old Tim Malt to fight an evil dictator in Eastern Europe, chase dangerous criminals in South America and pursue other adventures in exotic locations around the world. Styler first turned her charity fundraiser skills toward producing with the Tiananmen Square documentary "Moving the Mountian," directed by Michael Apted, and "Boys From Brazil," a film about Brazilian transsexual prostitutes.
