Disney has halted production on “Mouse Guard,” a motion capture film originally set up at 20th Century Fox ahead of the Disney and Fox merger, just two weeks before the film was set to begin production, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
Idris Elba, Andy Serkis, Sonoya Mizuno, Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Jack Whitehall are all attached to the project based on the comic book series written and illustrated by David Petersen.
The producers, including director Wes Ball, Joe Hartwick Jr., Matt Reeves, Stephen Christy and Ross Richie, have been allowed to shop “Mouse Guard” to other studios.
