It seems Disney is tapping into its vast library of properties to look for more potential Narnia hits with the news that writer Pamela Pettler has been hired to update one of the Mouse House’s most popular films. Pettler, who took on duties for Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride and wrote the script in a month, has become a bit of a Burton-head recently, having penned the original draft of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and collaborating again on the Burton produced 9, a CGI version of Shane Acker’s award winning short about humanity’s fight for survival, for Universal’s Focus Features. After doing a rewrite on executive producer Robert Zemeckis’ Monster House, she was offered many horror projects, but says in Video Age magazine that the genre is not really for her. “I like fantasy and stories with lots of magical realism” says Pettler, where the news is revealed that her next project is preparing the screenplay for a remake of Bedknobs And Broomsticks. Further details are sketchy at this time, but a new version of Mary Norton’s classic book fits in appropriately with Disney’s continuing desire to tap into the Harry Potter/Lord Of The Rings market and deliver elaborately filmed stories for all the family. Look for the theatrical release of the “new and improved” Bedknobs And Broomsticks in two years time.
