Overview

• The project is a reimagining rather than a sequel, featuring an original storyline set in a museum and introducing all-new characters.
• Tripper Clancy, whose credits include the Die Hart franchise and Stuber, has been tapped to pen the screenplay for 21 Laps and 20th Century Studios.
• Producers Shawn Levy and Dan Levine are leading the effort under the 21 Laps banner, with Emily Morris overseeing development.
• No director or cast have been attached yet, underscoring the early, tightly controlled stage of the film’s development.
• The reboot builds on a franchise that began with Milan Trenc’s 1993 children’s book and three live-action films that grossed over $1.3 billion, plus a 2022 animated spin-off.
