‘New Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Film in Production’
An exciting reboot of the classic film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is on the horizon! Amazon MGM Studios is teaming up with Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson’s Eon Productions to give this beloved movie a fresh new adaptation, according to Deadline.
While no writers or directors have been confirmed yet, discussions are underway with potential candidates. The goal is to bring the new version to the big screen for a theatrical release that will capture the hearts of audiences once again.
The original film dates back to 1968 and featured the talented Dick Van Dyke in the lead role. With a screenplay by Roald Dahl and Ken Hughes, the film was based on the cherished children’s story “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The Magical Car” written by none other than James Bond author Ian Fleming.
Fun fact: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang even scored an Oscar nomination for its iconic title track, which was penned by Robert and Richard Sherman.
Exciting times are ahead as we anticipate seeing this timeless tale reimagined for the modern audience. Stay tuned for more updates as this project continues to take shape.
