Warner Bros. is developing a modern reimagining of the 1993 family adventure film “Free Willy,” according to multiple reports. The project is produced by Anthony and Joe Russo’s company, AGBO, with the studios working on a new screenplay rather than a direct sequel. Screenwriting duo Mary-Margaret Kunze and Jade Halley Bartlett have been tapped to write the script for the reimagined film. Details beyond the development lineup are limited across the sources. The original “Free Willy,” released by Warner Bros. Pictures in 1993, follows an orphaned boy whose relationship with an orca whale becomes central to the story, and it became well known as a family-oriented adventure. The current effort aims to reintroduce the concept to contemporary audiences, while staying rooted in the premise established by the first movie. As reported, the project is still in development, with no release date or casting information announced yet.
