MUMBAI: Classic fairytale Sleeping Beauty is all set to get a big screen treatment. Neal Moritz who had earlier produced 21 Jump Street is developing a new take on the Sleeping Beauty tale, which will not present the titular character as a charming princess. On the contrary, her character will be that of a "pesky stalker", it has been reported.

The new version of the fabled Brothers Grimm story has been designed as a "modern-day retelling" in which the male lead character accidentally awakens the princess and finds himself getting stalked by the love struck heroine.
 
Moritz will produce the comedy version of Sleeping Beauty through his Original Film banner, which has its deal at Sony Pictures.
