Jon Favreau To Direct “Magic Kingdom”
November 14th, 2010 | Published in Featured, News, News/Rumors
Jon Favreau, director of Iron Man and Iron Man 2, has been slated to direct movie based on the Magic Kingdom.
Disney has been looking for a way to feature the entire park in a full feature film much like it has featured its attractions such as The Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean.
The orginal script, pitched and writen by Ronald Moore, has now been shelved. A new writer will be hired to help Favreau get his vision to the big screen.
The concept of an entire based around the entire theme park is not a new one for Disney. Ridley Pearson has a Young Adult Book series, “Kingdom Keepers” which follow a group of teens as they are transformed into holographic guides and battle characters from the attractions as they come to life.
