Draft:James and the Giant Peach (upcoming film)

James and the Giant Peach is an upcoming American fantasy musical comedy film. It is based on the book James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.

Production
In August 2016, Sam Mendes was revealed to be in negotiations with Disney to direct another live-action adaptation of the novel, with Nick Hornby in talks for the script. In May 2017, however, Mendes was no longer attached to the project due to his entering talks with Disney about directing a live-action film adaptation of Pinocchio. In 2021, it was reported that the project was still in development but not close to beginning production.
