Before the Wimpy Kid endured his travails, a kid named Alexander had a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, which may also make its way to the screen.

The story notes that, since there are two other titles in the series, “the pic could blossom into a successful franchise along the lines of Fox’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.”
