Kerr, and Walden Media has hired Karen Janszen to adapt Ingrid Law's intriguing-looking book Savvy. Unfortunately, neither one of these names inspires much confidence—as president of the Buena Vista Motion Pictures Group, Jacobson was responsible for the awkward, unfunny The Princess Diaries and clunky The Chronicles of Narnia adaptations, while Janszen brought us that fun-filled A Walk to Remember movie.
