Warner Brothers and two top production companies are in the early stages of a reboot of the 1980s children’s fantasy classic The Neverending Story<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Kennedy\/Marshall Co. (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) and Leonard DiCaprio’s company Appian Way are in discussions with Warner Bros., who recently acquired rights to the property, about making a modern version of the film.<\/p>\n

According to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, the original film, based on a German-language novel by Michael Ende, 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.<\/p>\n

The original producer Dieter Geissler is on board to produce the film again along with Sarah Schechter and Jesse Ehrman for Warner Bros. <\/p>\n

The reboot is still in its early stages and writers have not been attached as of yet.<\/p>\n

Appian Way, in addition to The Neverending Story<\/strong>, is also developing another remake of an ’80s fantasy, a live-action film: anime tale and fan favorite Akira<\/strong>. <\/p>\n
