Indeed, THR relayed as background that this is being construed as “a type of companion piece to its remakes The Jungle Book and The Lion King.” That both of those movies earned more than $1 billion likely helps with that distinction, even if Bambi’s fleet 70 minutes doesn’t necessarily lend itself to the modern feature length treatment. Like The Lion King before it, this is going to be (or mostly be) live-action in name only, as all of the talking animals and their environments will be created in computers. However, Disney is apparently banking on the wonder of photorealistic animals created out of digital pixels to sell Bambi. Beer, meanwhile, comes off working on Lionsgate’s upcoming Chaos Walking project, which stars Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley, as well as Sierra Burgess Is a Loser.
Robertson-Dowert is becoming a go-to screenwriter for blockbuster films in Hollywood, having previously co-written the scripts for the Tomb Raider remake starring Alicia Vikander and of course Disney’s billion-dollar grosser, Captain Marvel. Additionally, the production company Depth of Field will help produce the picture, attaching Chris and Paul Weitz and Andrew Miano to the film as producers. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news Friday, reporting that Geneva Robertson-Dowert and Lindsey Beer were hired to pen the remake for the Mouse House. The hardly shocking news confirms that the remake conveyer belt at the Walt Disney Company is alive and well, and that the company’s older library is still being mined, as Bambi was among Walt Disney’s first five features when it opened in 1942.
Get ready to hate mankind all over again-or at least hunters-because Bambi is about to have a “live-action” walk through the park.
