Three big Hollywood IP properties have just scored three big screenwriters: Disney’s live-action Lion King, Universal’s Monsters Universe version of The Wolf Man, and Warner Bros.’
Next is Universal’s The Wolf Man, which will be unrelated to their 2010 dud starring Benicio Del Toro.
Lastly there’s Minecraft, which Variety says Jason Fuchs (Pan) will take over after a draft by Doctor Strange writer Jon Spaihts.
The film will be produced by Alex Kurtzman (Star Trek) and Chris Morgan (Fast & Furious) for the Universal Monsters Universe they are overseeing starting with the Kurtzman-directed The Mummy, starring Tom Cruise.
