‘Sword in the Stone,’ which will be a re-telling of the classic 1963 animated film, was once rumored to be a potential 2018 release, but has since been pushed back to an undisclosed date. The script was written by Bryan Cogman (Game of Thrones) and will be produced by Brigham Taylor (The Jungle Book).
