Some stories never end, like The Neverending Story, which is getting a brand new film series adaptation.
There’s probably two reasons you’d know about The Neverending Story. One is that you grew up in the 80s and were captivated by the cool puppetry and effects, and it became your entire personality for at least a year. And the other is that you watched Stranger Things where it shamelessly played into your nostalgia for the 80s by using the original film’s main theme in a pivotal moment. Either way, you should prepare yourself to dive back into the world of The Neverending Story, as the classic children’s fantasy novel is getting a brand new series of film adaptations.
As reported by Variety, See-Saw Films is the production company set to breathe new life into the series – you might not know the name, but it’s behind films like The King’s Speech and shows like Heartstopper, most of its catalogue being quite realistic, dramatic films, so it’s potentially a bit of an odd one to take on such a strange fantasy world. It will be working alongside Michael Ende Productions, Michael Ende being the original writer behind the books. Apparently Ende’s estate has been looking around the globe for interest in the property from both streaming networks and studios for the past few years.
