Hoy en un periódico de la Cd, me encuentro que se habla en una nota sobre festivales de cine, Cannes y demás, y en ella se habla que Guille Del Toro esta en tratos con WB para posiblemente dirigír esta nueva versión y que posiblemente Cuarón este como productor o algo así, esta es la nota de scifire.com que nos da la web de deltorofilms.com
Cita:Del Toro Helming Witches
Guillermo del Toro, whose Pan's Labyrinth will screen in competition at this week's Cannes Film Festival, will team with fellow Mexican helmer Alfonso Cuaron on an English-language adaptation of Roald Dahl's 1973 book The Witches for Warner Brothers, Variety reported. Cuaron signed a three-year, first-look production deal with Warner in 2004.
Del Toro is set to direct from his screenplay; Cuaron (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) will produce through his New York-based production company Esperanto.
Del Toro told the trade paper that his Witches adaptation would be "quite smaller, but most likely very much designed," alluding to the eye-popping look of his previous movies. He has written 70-plus of what he expects will be a 100-page screenplay.
British helmer Nicolas Roeg previously adapted The Witches for the screen in 1989.
