“Pitts Dragon” director David Lowry is going to manage the project. Lori co-wrote the script with Toby Holbrooks and is producing Jim Whitaker.

Disney’s 1953 animated classic is still about Peter Pan. The most successful adaptation of the Barry novel is that the boy will not be old and that the children he removes to the icy magical world of Neverland. Many more studios have made their own versions on the big and small screens, including Steven Spielberg’s Robin Williams and Joe Wright’s “Pan” starring “Hook,” both of which were disappointing at the box office.
