Never Ending Story Being Revived

February 26th, 2009 in Fantasy, Movie News -

Kid fantasy classic The Never Ending Story might be heading our way courtesy of Warner Bros. and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way, as they are having discussions about reviving the franchise.

Originally released back in 1984, the film centered on a boy named Bastian Balthazar Bux who discovers a parallel world in the self-titled book. As he delves deeper into the book, he finds his life intertwined with the plot of the novel, in which a hero in the land of Fantasia must save the universe on behalf of an empress.

The new version will reportedly go into the more nuanced details of the book that were glossed over in the original. No writers are currently attached to the project.
