Dal sito DeadLine:

‘Love and Monsters’ Director Michael Matthews Boards Disney’s ‘Merlin’

EXCLUSIVE: Michael Matthews is set to direct Disney’s Merlin, an adaptation of T.A. Barron’s novel series where King Arthur’s wizardry mentor is at the center of the story. Ridley Scott, who directed the 20th Century Medieval pic The Last Duel, which bows today in theaters, was attached to direct at one point but parted ways due to his busy schedule. Sources say the film is still in early development with Disney’s live-action team.

Gil Netter is producing from with the latest draft by Chris Weitz.

Based on the Barron books, the series followed the origin story of a young Merlin who would go on to become the mentor of the classic literary character King Arthur. While several films have focused on the King Arthur legend, the only high-profile story to focus specifically on the story of Merlin was the NBC miniseries Merlin that starred Sam Neill.

Matthews most recently directed the critically-acclaimed adventure film, Love & Monsters starring Dylan O’Brien and Jessica Henwick for Paramount and 21 Laps, which was a hit PVOD release in fall of 2020 and will be released internationally by Netflix in April 2021. He first got attention for his contemporary African Spaghetti Western Five Fingers For Marseilles which was written by Sean Drummond and premiered at TIFF in 2017 in the Discovery Program.

He is repped by Range Media Partners, Management 360 and Ziffren Brittenham.

Potrebbe essere per Disney +,ma vorrei leggere prima la trama magari prima di sbilanciarmi.
Ma secondo voi questo film parlerà del Merlino del cartone animato o saranno due cose separate?
Ma ve la immaginate una Maga Magò live action! Sarebbe davvero figa!

Penso sarà sull'esempio di Crudelia, una reinvenzione ma con qua e là degli omaggi al Classico; Maga Magò sarebbe fighissima, se ci sarà, allora sarà un vero e proprio prequel del Classico e avremo la nostra risposta, essendo un personaggio originale Disney.

Da quello che si sa finora, è ispirato ai romanzi di Barron... però poi magari lo rendono un prequel alla Crudelia , prendendo come base i romanzi di Barron e usando alcuni aspetti del film La Spada nella Roccia... sarebbe bello ci fosse Maga Magò... nei romanzi tra le figure varie ricordiamo che c'era la donna cerbiatto che era la fidanzata di Merlino... e poi c'è la madre di Merlino.
Forse nel film qualche aspetto con il classico lo inseriscono... Magò sarebbe troppo bello vederla... e mantenere lo stile della casa nel bosco sia di Merlino sia di Magò che ci sono sempre piaciute

Dal sito Indiewire, Ridley Scott parla del suo rifiuto a dirigere il film:

Ridley Scott Recalls Turning Down Big Disney Project: ‘I Don’t Do Wizard Films’

The legendary director says Disney approached him about directing a wizard movie, but "it wasn't a good idea."

Ridley Scott has dabbled in many genres throughout his nearly five-decade directing career, from period pieces to science fiction. But while the British filmmaker is constantly expanding his horizons, there is one genre that moviegoers shouldn’t expect him to try any time soon.

In a new profile in The Hollywood Reporter, Scott recalls a meeting with Disney after the entertainment giant acquired Fox. Scott had a long history of collaborating with Fox, but Disney wanted to take their partnership in a different direction. And the Oscar winner was not interested. Scott directed some of the most iconic science fiction films of all time, but apparently, fantasy was a bridge too far for the 84-year-old filmmaker.

“They wanted me to do a wizard film,” Scott said. “And I don’t do wizard films. It wasn’t a good idea.”

Ridley Scott is never afraid to bluntly speak his mind, recently telling a journalist to “go fuck yourself” at a recent press junket. He has plenty of thoughts on the current state of the film industry, and “wizard films” are far from the only genre he has criticized. The director attracted controversy in late 2021 when he said superhero movies are “boring” because their “scripts are not any fucking good.”

His latest comments are unsurprising, as Scott continues to be a strong advocate for studios making movies aimed at adult audiences. He has expressed frustration that his historical epic “The Last Duel” struggled at the box office, and recently remarked that the dominance of comic book franchises is a sign that “we’re losing cinema.”

Scott said that while he is open to working in a variety of genres, he has high standards for the projects he takes. “The older I get, the more I look for things which are about something, aren’t just entertainment,” he said. “It must have an effect on somebody.” The prolific director is known for his productivity, and does not appear to be slowing down in the slightest. For the time being, he continues to focus on period pieces. He is currently gearing up to direct the Napoleon Bonaparte biopic “Kitbag,” followed immediately by a sequel to “Gladiator.”
