Published by HarperCollins in 2011, the book centers on a silverback gorilla named Ivan (Rockwell) who lives in a cage in a shopping mall along with an elephant named Stella (Jolie) and a stray dog called Bob. Ivan does not remember life before the mall, but when a baby elephant named Ruby enters and Ivan finds himself taking care of her, he begins to rediscover his previous life and concocts a plan to take the baby elephant away from their abusive owner.

Thea Sharrock is directing the adaptation who has also directed the movie Me Before You. It currently doesn't have a release date, though if they start shooting this year, we could be looking at a late 2019 to early 2020 release.
