Swift

Swift was the tentative name of a planned film adaptation of the Tom Swift franchise. Pitched by Barry Sonnenfeld and BenDavid Grabinski as a re-imagining of the Tom Swift novels, the film was picked-up by Columbia Pictures in mid-2009. It is thought that Sonnenfeld would direct. Albie Hecht, who, until Columbia bought Sonnenfeld's and Grabinski's pitch, had been developing a Swift film of his own, would produce.

Premise
Swift would had feature Tom Swift, as one-half of a father-son team, who are among the greatest inventors of all time.

Background
Over the years, various film projects based on Tom Swift have been in the works, including a musical adaptation from Twentieth Century Fox in the late 1960s, and another film in the 1970s, but none have ever been finished.
