Super 8 Star Joel Courtney Cast As Tom Sawyer in New Adaptation

That sound you just heard was the entire Internet saying in unison, "Good job, Joel Courtney!" The adorable Super 8 star has just been cast as Tom Sawyer in Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn. Per Variety, the Jo Kastner-directed adaptation will shoot in Bulgaria instead of Missouri, which is... odd. Otherwise, mint! Courtney is also in talks for the supernatural thriller The Healer. Spooky, scary, etc. [Variety]
