One of J. Michael Straczynski’s (Babylon 5) thrillers has been bought up by Imagine Entertainment and Universal Studios. “The Changeling” is the story about a kidnapped boy who is returned to his mother, but she soon suspects that the boy that has returned, while showing all outward signs of being her son, is really not her child.

Brian Glazer of Imagine is hoping to talk his old partner, Academy Award winning director Ron Howard (The Da Vinci Code) into helming the project, and Howard is said to be seriously considering it, along with several other film projects he is interested in.
