THR reports that Juan Carlos Fresnadillo is in negotiations with the studio to direct the picture; Bryan Cogman (Game of Thrones) wrote the script and Brigham Taylor (The Jungle Book) is producing with Louis Provost overseeing. There are no details available on the movie’s plot or tone just yet, but you don’t bring in the director of horror/thrillers like 28 Weeks Later and Intruders for a whimsical, musical take.
Disney has also got The Merlin Saga in development with Ridley Scott circling to direct the first entry.
The Disney film was based on T.H. White's book but changed a lot of stuff from what I understand. Any idea if they have a faithful book adaptation in mind here or more of the usual 'make animated classics into live action films' stuff?

Well it is written by a genius in Bryan Cogman so that tells you all you need to know.
