The co-writers and directors are certainly not averse to major studio projects or franchises. In fact, they’re currently developing a new take on Treasure Island for Disney. If Peanut Butter Falcon was a modern riff on Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, then the duo have another intriguing approach in mind for Robert Louis Stevenson’s own classic novel.
“It’s an Australian surfer version of Treasure Island, and if they ever make it, it would be so fun. It has the vibes that we do, and there’s found family, brotherhood, drama and outsider energy,” says Schwartz, with Nilson adding, “It has the patina of the 1970s surf world.”
