In a world where kids are more often than not glued to their screens, Sony Pictures TV’s “The Dangerous Book for Boys” aims to inspire a world of imagination and adventure.
In adapting the book by Conn Iggulden and Hal Iggulden, executive producer Bryan Cranston faced a unique challenge — given that the book doesn’t have any characters or plot. “It’s just a how to: how to build a fort, how to play baseball, how to talk to a girl, all of these things,” he tells Variety. “So everything had to start from scratch.”
Cranston credits the sensibility of the book with helping him shape the narrative. “It was the reason that the book was created that got me thinking and helped me to crack this story,” he says. “I wanted to follow along with that sensibility about the embracing of boyhood and allowing boys to be boys.
