Thunderbird, Sandpiper Entertainment and ScreenWest are developing "Modo," a film adaptation of Arthur Slade's steampunk novel "The Hunchback Assignments".
The first novel in a series, the story follows a child hunchback plucked from a freak show and raised in isolation as an agent for the Permanent Association - a spy agency for Brittania and its efforts to oversee its empire.
At age fourteen, he's dumped on the streets of London and, with another Association agent, uncovers a plot by the Clockwork Guild behind the murders of important men.
Paul Barron ("Serangoon Road") and Alex Raffe ("I've Heard the Mermaids Singing") will produce.

If the 3rd annual Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards could be categorised as a David vs Goliath battle between The Rocket and The Great Gatsby, Goliath is the hands-down winner.
Baz Luhrmann.s opulent romantic drama won six awards tonight, for best film, director, adapted screenplay, lead actor Leonardo DiCaprio, supporting actor Joel Edgerton and supporting actress Elizabeth Debicki.
That.s in addition to the six awards in craft categories plus the Aacta award for outstanding achievement in visual effects bestowed on Luhrmann.s film on Tuesday.
Kim Mordaunt's The Rocket, which had 12 nominations versus 14 for Gatsby, had to be content with just one trophy, for Mordaunt.s original screenplay.
The outcome is likely to reignite the debate about the near-impossibility of comparing a lavishly-mounted 3D film financed by Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures, which cost $160 million, with an independently-funded Lao-set film from a first-time director budgeted at about $2 million.
