James and the Giant Peach is an upcoming American fantasy musical comedy film. It is based on the book James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.
Production[edit]
In August 2016, Sam Mendes was revealed to be in negotiations with Disney to direct another live-action adaptation of the novel,[1] with Nick Hornby in talks for the script.[2] In May 2017, however, Mendes was no longer attached to the project due to his entering talks with Disney about directing a live-action film adaptation of Pinocchio.[3] In 2021, it was reported that the project was still in development but not close to beginning production.[4]
