"Los Angeles, CA, April 11, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hannover House, Inc. (Pinksheets: HHSE) has acquired the worldwide rights to the fantasy motion picture screenplay, "Mother Goose!" from Michael Snyder, and has assembled a co-production team and financing plan to put the film into production later this year. The film is expected to feature a major star in the title role of Mother Goose, along with several A-list celebrities in cameo roles as famous characters from children's folklore.
"Mother Goose!" tells the story of a young brother and sister, Jack and Jill, who are magically transported into a fantasy fairy land full of amusing characters and absurd situations.
