Deadline is reporting that Sam Mendes is the “very early stages” of negotiations to develop and eventually direct a live-action version of James and the Giant Peach.
James and the Giant Peach is in early development with no targeted release date.
The original version of James and the Giant Peach was released in 1996 with Henry Selick as the director of the stop motion and animated film.
However, one of their latest trends is turning some of their original content into new live-action movies.
