Wright is directing the as-yet-untitled Peter Pan adventure from a screenplay by Jason Fuchs . Greg Berlanti , Paul Webster and Sarah Schechter are producing, with Tim Lewis serving as executive producer.
Filming will take place at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden. The film is set for a worldwide release on July 17, 2015 .
