In a recent interview, the movie writer for the live-action Bambi said the project may not happen.

Live-Action Bambi

In January 2020, it was announced that Bambi was next in line for a live-action remake at Disney using the same CGI animation used in The Lion King and The Jungle Book.

Screenwriters Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Lindsey Beer were brought on to write the script, and Sarah Polley was chosen to direct.

Robertson-Dworet addressed Bambi‘s fate in an exclusive interview with The Direct, and she revealed she has not heard “a single update” on Bambi in “at least five years.”

The Direct: “You were reportedly attached to write the Bambi movie. However, earlier this year, some outlets were kind of reporting that the project was basically dead in the water as of January. So I just wanted to ask you directly, what is the status of that project, and can you offer anything in that realm?”

Robertson-Dworet: “You know, it’s so funny. ‘Fallout’ is such an intensely full time job, like no joke… I have not found out in at least five years a single update on the ‘Bambi’ movie. So I have been off it since I started on ‘Fallout,’ and have not even kind of checked in, to be totally honest with you, that’s true.”

Details surrounding the remake have been scarce for the past several years.
