For anyone interesting, /Film posted a full list of all the Disney Live-Action Remakes in development. Some things I found intriguing:
The Pinocchio remake I'm more interested in is the one being developed by Warner Bros. Robert Downey Jr is currently set to play Gepetto. One would think RDJ would be tapped to play Gepetto in the Disney remake. Also the fact that the Warner Bros. version picked up Patrick McHale (Over the Garden Wall fame) as a new writer is extremely intriguing. Anyone who has seen Over the Garden Wall probably realizes that his style would work great with a Pinocchio story. Super excited if this actually has legs.
The Night on Bald Mountain remake seems like it's going to be taking the Maleficent route. Giving a character that doesn't require a backstory, a backstory. Hopefully I'm wrong and the film follows a group of people that have to face Chernabog as a villain, instead of making the film about him being misunderstood.
The Prince Charming film actually sounds a lot more interesting than I thought it would. I think making it a comedy is the only way it could really work.
The Tinker Bell movie seems kind of tired. Any of these that have "Maleficent-style retelling" doesn't get my hopes up. And speaking about that...
Maleficent 2 is/has been in development. Not sure where you can really take this story, but where there is another potential $758+million, there's a way.
I'm calling this now...the Emma Stone Cruella De Ville film will have the titular character getting mistreated by her mother/family where they use dogs to scare her or something. Yet another "misunderstood" villain story...pass.
Interested to see anyone that's worked on Game of Thrones also work on a Sword in the Stone remake.
I think it's a smart move for Disney to not even try to make a Robin Hood remake. There's already 4 movie studios that have Robin Hood movies in development. Talk about overkill.
The Little Mermaid remake has had it's fair share of bumps along the way. Not sure how much a remake can really bring to the table.
So what do you guys think. It will be interesting to see how many of these films "in development" actually come to light. "Order of the Seven" was in the works for a while but has since been killed. Always interesting to think of the movies that "never were" (or should I say "have yet to")
