Sci Fi Shingle Wins a Big Prize: Rights to a Heinlein Classic

Harry Kloor’s Jupiter 9 Prods. is developing a feature version of Robert Heinlein’s “Have Space Suit, Will Travel” with Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Peter McHugh attached as producers. Kloor, who founded Jupiter 9 to promote science literacy, obtained film rights after presenting a finished script to the Heinlein estate. Set in 2040, “Space Suit” tells the story of a teenager who loses a contest for a free trip to the Moon, but wins a broken-down space suit — which contains properties that lead to humanity’s first contact with aliens.
