After the Walt Disney Company completed its acquisition of 21st Century Fox in March 2019, which resulted in shuttering Fox 2000, the project was transferred to Lucasfilm, marking the studio's first original live-action project since its acquisition by Disney in 2012. Kay Oyegun was announced to write the script for the film in August 2019.[6] In September 2019, while talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Walt Disney Studios president Alan Horn confirmed Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy was working with sister studio 20th Century Fox's chairwoman Emma Watts in developing the film.[7][8] In the fourth quarter of 2021, however, Lucasfilm put the project in turnaround. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Adeyemi had become dissatisfied with the pace of Lucasfilm's adaptation efforts and asked to serve as scriptwriter, a request that Lucasfilm had declined. Since Lucasfilm had wanted to focus on its own intellectual properties like Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Willow, it allowed the film rights to Children of Blood and Bone to lapse. Ver mais
