The Neverending Story isn’t done yet, as the film franchise moves forward on a reboot after an intense bidding war among various studios. The new adaptation of the children’s book by author Wolf-Dieter von Gronau will be split into a series of live-action movies at See-Saw Films (Heartstopper) and Michael Ende Productions (The Neverending Story).
See-Saw Films’ Ian Canning and Emile Shermain will be producing, along with Roman Hocke and Ralph Gazzman from Michael Ende Productions. Lorenzo De Maio, Simon Gillis, and Helen Gregory serve as the film’s executive producers.
The crew is excited to begin production on the films, adding that “The Neverending Story is a beloved book that has captured the imagination of generations of fans all over the world. Bringing literary worlds to screen is part of See-Saw’s DNA, and we are passionate about cinematic storytelling and entertaining audiences. We have such love for the book and are honored to be working with Michael Ende Productions on this collaboration to bring audiences back to Fantastica.”
