"Warner Bros. and a pair of top-tier production companies are in the early stages of a remake of the 1980s children's fantasy classic The NeverEnding Story, says The Hollywood Reporter. The Kennedy/Marshall Co. (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) and Leonardo DiCaprio's company Appian Way are in discussions with Warner Bros. about reviving the 25-year-old franchise with a modern spin. The studio recently acquired rights to the property, clearing the way for a potential remake. Born out of a German-language novel by Michael Ende, the film centers on a boy named Bastian Balthazar Bux who discovers a parallel world in a book titled "The NeverEnding Story." As the boy, a loner, delves deeper into the book, he increasingly finds his life intertwined with the plot of the novel, in which a hero in the land of Fantasia must save the universe on behalf of an empress. The new film--which original producer Dieter Geissler--will examine the more nuanced details of the book that were glossed over in the first film, that was directed by Wolfgang Petersen. A sequel directed by George Miller came out in 1990; a third movie followed in the U.S. in 1996 but quickly went to video." http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=53283 ____________________________________________________________________________ *sigh* |

Best "kiddie" movie ever! Fairy tale powerhouse! The Harry Potters or Narnias of today have nothing on it. We'll see what they will do with it. I'm not gonna condemn it from the start. |

Well half of the book was cut out of the movie so there is a lot they could do with it. |

I could imagine it with better special effects. They need to get Atreyu's skin color right, also need to do a better job with Xayide who was really the villain of the novel. |

I'm starting to get sick of all these remakes but if I remember right the 1st one even though it was good it didn't cover all the book. If this one is more faithful to the book than I'll give it a chance. The 1st one did have a nice Theme Song though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--ZTrKPFwJc |
