The Real-Life 'Up' House Is Getting Its Own Movie And Memoir

While Pixar has denied that their 2009 movie "Up" was based on Edith Macefield's Seattle home, the 100-year-old farmhouse now surrounded by buildings has become known as the "Up" house. And now it's getting its own movie and memoir.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fox Searchlight is developing a film about Macefield's home, which first garnered attention in 2006 when she refused $1 million from commercial developers. The elderly owner then became close friends with the superintendent of the construction project, Barry Martin, whom she left the home to following her death in 2008.

Fox's film will be based on Macefield's relationship with Martin and will be produced by "Annie" director Will Gluck, according to Entertainment Weekly. The studio is also getting rights to Martin's memoir, Under One Roof: Lessons I Learned from a Tough Old Woman in a Little Old House, as a part of the deal.

OPAL (Of People and Land) Community Land Trust, a nonprofit, most recently saved the house from destruction. The organization is currently fundraising to move the home from Seattle to Orcas Island in Washington's San Juan Islands to give to a family in need.

There's no further news about the untitled film, but get our your boy scout badges and flying goggles out just to be prepared.
