Prolific director Mark Waters has been tapped to helm the upcoming live-action family comedy from Disney, MAGIC CAMP. It’s being produced by Suzanne Todd, with Noah Harpster and Micah Fitzerman-Blue working on the most recent draft of the script. Comedy actor Steve Martin remains in talks to star in the film. The film follows a rigid and cautious banker who returns to the summer camp he attended as a boy: a camp for magic. His return to the camp is as a fun counselor to help out the young group of rag-tag magicians, but privately he also has an eye on winning the Golden Wand competition.
