Overview

• Questlove disclosed on the August 20 episode of Score: The Podcast that Disney has tabled the project, a status later confirmed in trade coverage.
• He said multiple administration reshuffles derailed progress, noting he walked away after a third leadership change.
• The musician-filmmaker said he has several other films lined up through 2029–2030, signaling he is unlikely to return even if the title is revived.
• Originally announced in 2023 as a live-action/hybrid, the remake had Questlove set to direct, executive produce, and oversee music, with Will Gluck and Keith Bunin attached to the script.
