Exclusive: Disney is in development on live-action family-adventure movie Knights, set in the European Middle Ages.

The screenplay is being worked on by Matt Orton, who scripted 2018 MGM feature Operation Finale, starring Oscar Isaac, Ben Kingsley and Mélanie Laurent.
This one, still in early development, is being shepherded by the Disney live-action team with execs Jessica Virtue and Chaz Salembier overseeing. We understand it is likely to be a theatrical project rather than a Disney+ title.
Production VP Virtue is among the most senior women in the studio’s live-action team and has worked on upcoming movies including the big-budget reboot of Mulan with Yifei Liu, Donnie Yen, Jett Li, Jason Scott Lee and Li Gong; Cruella with Emma Stone...
