Will Disney get the magic cauldron?

Image The Walt Disney Empire is ready to respond to critics who accuse the company of only reshooting the greatest hits of the box office. There are rumors in Hollywood about the start of work on a game remake of the Black Cauldron.

Several years ago Disney extended the rights to film adaptation of Lloyd Alexander's book series The Chronicles of Pryden. Fantasy lovers will remember that the plot of the 1985 animated film is based on the first and second parts of the literary cycle. Apparently, the prolongation of the contract with Alexander's heirs was dictated by the desire to film a new version of Black Cauldron.

A remake of the cartoon by Ted Berman and Richard Rich will prove that Disney people can take risks. Unlike "Aladdin", "The Lion King" and "The Jungle Book", "Black Cauldron" is unlikely to beat off the budget just due to the loud name. The original received mixed reviews in the press and was a crushing flop at the box office: it grossed $ 21 million in the United States with a production budget of $ 44 million.

Soon after the premiere of the cartoon, the studio admitted that it could not adequately dispose of a powerful literary source. It looks like the heroes of "The Chronicles of Pryden" will have a second opportunity to conquer the cinema screens and the hearts of the audience. Fantasy fans can only hope that Disney's PR service will not leave today's rumor unanswered.
