Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, the screenwriters behind four of the Saw films, are veering into more family-friendly territory. The duo has been tapped to pen Disney's live-action film The Stuff of Legend

Based on the graphic novel by Mike Raicht and Brian Smith and illustrated by Charles Paul Wilson III, the story follows a group of toys that journey into a dark realm to rescue their owner from the Boogeyman.Peter Candeland will direct The Stuff of Legend, with David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman producing through their Disney-based Mandeville Films, reports THR This project is certainly a departure for Melton and Dunstan, whose works typically tend toward more mature fare. In addition to the Saw films, they've co-written Feast, Piranha 3DD and The Collection. More recently, they were hired to rewrite Universal's God of War movie , which is still in development at the studio.
