Even though Ridley Scott does plan on giving us a gazillion more Alien movies in the future, whether or not we want them, he is however eyeing other projects as well, one of which is this.Variety reported that Scott may get to direct Disney’s “The Merlin Saga” which his production company, Scott Free, is expected to also produce with Gil Netter. Scripted by Philippa Boyens.
But at this point, Scott’s involvement with this project is not yet official, the deals aren’t locked in yet.
Philippa Boyens famously worked with Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh on those middle-earth LOTR movies.
Previous draft was by Patrick Massett and John Zinman
Based on T.A. Barron‘s young adult book series, THE LOST YEARS OF MERLIN
A raging sea tosses a boy upon the shores of ancient Wales. Left for dead, he has no memory, no name, and no home. But it is his determination to find out who he is—to learn the truth about his mysterious powers—that leads him to a strange and enchanted land. And it is there he discovers that the fate of this land and his personal quest are strangely entwined.
This Merlin project is one of two films that Disney is developing based on the Merlin character, the other one is a “Sword In The Stone” which Scott is also eyeing.
Tendo Nagenda and Foster Driver are overseeing the project.
