Have Space Suit Will Travel

7/2/10 - Variety reported Robert A. Heinlein’s novel, Have Space Suit Will Travel, is being adapted for the big screen by Harry Kloor.  "I was inspired to become a scientist and science fiction writer in part by reading the works of Grand Master Robert Heinlein," said Kloor.  The novel, set in 2040, tells the story of a teenager who loses a contest for a free trip to the moon but wins an obsolete spacesuit—which ends up leading him to humanity's first contact with aliens.  The project is apparently further along, because Kloor's production company, Jupiter 9, obtained the rights from the Heinlein estate only after showing them a completed script.
