While there has been no official announcement by Disney, The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Geneva Robertson-Dworet (Captain Marvel, Tomb Raider) and Lindsey Beer (Sierra Burgess Is a Loser, Chaos Walking) have been hired to write the new “live-action” version.
According to the publication, the studio will be utilizing the same methods used to produce previous remakes staring animals, like The Lion King and The Jungle Book. While the film will appear to be live-action it will only be made to look that way using advanced CG technology.
