We are so pleased to report one of our favorite people is developing classic “Swiss Family Robinson” for Disney+- Ronald D. Moore! RDM is teaming up with director Jon M. Chu to reimagine this classic adventure and survival tale for the streaming service.
Johann David Wyss wrote the original novel in 1812. The iconic Disney live action film was released in 1960.
Not a lot is known about this project yet, but you can bet we’re gonna reach out to Moore and see what he can say about it.
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
