Disney will soon be adapting Peter and the Starcatchers, a new Peter Pan story based on the best-selling children's book by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. The studio has hired Jesse Wigutow (The Osterman Weekend) to pen the screenplay.
The book was recently adapted into a Broadway play, which has already turned out to be a huge hit -- it was nominated for nine Tony Awards earlier this month. So it's no surprise that Disney has decided to fast-track a feature film. And since Barry and Pearson are gearing up to write more books set in the same universe, it's likely the movie will have franchise potential.
No word yet on a director or production start date.
