"Pete's Dragon" Gets A Remake; Writers Found

David Lowery and Toby Halbrooks are set to pen the script for a remake of the Disneyfamily classic "Pete's Dragon" says Deadline

The original 1977 film combined an animated dragon character with a live-action cast including Sean Marshall, Mickey Rooney, Red Buttons and Shelley Winters.

The story follows an orphan boy who arrives in a seaside town with his magical dragon, while his abusive adoptive parents are hot on his trail.

The writing team is expected to reinvent the story.

Jim Whitaker will produce the update


This film was one of my all time favorite films as a kid....
