A reboot of the classic film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is in the works.
Amazon MGM Studios is in development with Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson‘s Eon Productions to reimagine the movie into a brand-new adaptation, Deadline reports.
No potential writers or directors have been selected, though meetings with prospects are in the works. Developers are eyeing a theatrical release for the film.
The original 1968 film starred Dick Van Dyke with a screenplay by Roald Dahl and Ken Hughes. Hughes directed the film, which was based on the beloved children’s story Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The Magical Car, written by James Bond author Ian Fleming.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang received an Oscar nomination for its title track, which was written by Robert and Richard Sherman.
