Even Disney is trying to keep up with the popularity of horror by releasing more light-hearted ghost tales. Oscar-nominated screenwriter Robert Nelson Jacobs has been tapped to rewrite The Banshee and Fin Magee for Walt Disney Pictures, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The original "Fin Magee" script was written by Dean DeBlois, who is working with Jacobs on the rewrite. DeBlois is attached to produce and direct the ghost tale as his live-action feature debut. DeBlois wrote and directed Disney's 2-D animated hit film "Lilo & Stitch." The supernatural mystery centers on a little boy who is ignored by the world and pretends to be a ghost until he comes into contact with a real spirit.
