Disney Working on The Explorers Club Film

Disney is partnering with producer Michael De Luca to adapt The Explorers Club for a film. The upcoming fantasy novel by Adrienne Kress is described by Publishers Weekly as follows: The story follows a precocious boy whose life is sent spiraling into adventure after he discovers a pig in a teeny hat and returns it to its home at the mysterious Explorers Club. Publication is scheduled for fall 2016.

The book is expected to be the first in a trilogy.

No connection to Walt Disney World’s Adventurer’s Club is expected despite the similar name.
