Overview
- Amazon MGM Studios, which announced the project Friday, is developing a live-action FernGully with Marielle Heller set to write and direct.
- Stacey Sher, Susan Ursitti‑Sheinberg, Jon Sheinberg and Matt Feige will produce alongside Heller and Leah Holzer, with Moonli Singha as executive producer.
- Amazon MGM partnered with Machine Advisors LLC to plan music, merchandise and gaming tied to the property.
- The project remains in early development with no cast, production timeline or release date, and it joins Heller’s slate following Nightbitch and ahead of her Tom Hanks film Comebacker.
- Shout! Factory continues to distribute the 1992 original, and the new deal was negotiated by Verve Talent and law firm Fischbach, Perlstein, Lieberman & Almond.
