Overview
- The project, which Deadline first reported Friday, is in early development with Michael Montemayor writing the first draft and Seven Bucks Productions developing the film for Disney.
- Dwayne Johnson will serve as a producer alongside Seven Bucks partners Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia with Melissa Ford overseeing and Matt Smith producing for Electro Corduroy.
- Johnson is not attached to star the movie at this time and Disney has not announced casting, a release plan, or a production schedule.
- Details of Montemayor’s story are being kept under wraps and sources say the film will be a “very unique take” on the Greek myth of Medusa rather than a straight retelling.
- The project builds on Montemayor’s expanding Disney live‑action slate and continues Seven Bucks’ work with Disney, a pattern that could steer more myth‑based and villain‑origin reimaginings at the studio.
