Variety reported earlier today that screenwriter Jeff Nathanson will pen the script for the first “The 39 Clues”, an adventure series developed by Scholastic Media.

Targeting a younger audience, the series focuses on the Cahills, the world’s most powerful family. The true source for its power can only explained via 39 clues spread across the planet throughout history.

DreamWorks will develop the series, with Steven Spielberg attached to direct the first installment. Nathanson wrote the scripts for three of Spielberg’s films, including “The Terminal” and “Catch Me If You Can.”

Next week, Scholastic Media will also release the first book in connection with the series. A second one is due in December.

By the way, Nathanson also worked on “Rush Hour 2” and “Rush Hour 3.” Oh yeah, and Jan de Bont’s awful “Speed 2: Cruise Control.” Can’t forget that one.

The film will be based on the children’s novel by David Almond. The book follows a young boy named Michael who discovers what may or may not be an angel in his garage. The film will costar John Simms and Kelly MacDonald and it will be directed by Annabel Jankel of Super Mario Brothers fame. Ouch.

Remember that ginormous project called 39 Clues that was announced awhile back -- a worldwide mystery to span books, interactive games, trading cards and a movie deal, courtesy of Steven Spielberg? The first book in the series, The Maze of Bones, hits shelves all over the world next Tuesday, the same day as its interactive online game. Will it spark an obsession along the lines of Twilight or Harry Potter? Time will tell.

Steven Spielberg has confidence in it, though. Acccording to Variety, he's hired his old pal Jeff Nathanson to pen the script, marking their fourth collaboration together. They paired up previously on The Terminal, Catch Me If You Can, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Spielberg is still eying Clues' director's chair, and it will be interesting to see where this can fit into his busy schedule, where Tintin and Lincoln were taking precedence. Does
