Steven Spielberg has another project lined up for him to direct. According to Variety, DreamWorks has acquired the film rights to the multi-volume adventure series, "The 39 Clues."

"The 39 Clues" is a ten book series, the first of which will be released on September 9 of this year. There will be tie-ins to collectable cards and an online game as well.

According to Variety,

"The focus of 'The 39 Clues' is the most powerful family in the world, the Cahills, who count Napoleon and Houdini among their relatives. Readers will be challenged to discover the source of the family's powers, revealed through 39 clubs that are hidden around the world and scattered throughout history."

If everything goes right, like Paramount allowing Spielberg to take the movie with him should he really decide to leave them for another studio, the movie will probably hit theaters in 2012 or 2013 at the earliest.
