We are going to try to do this [film] ourselves and do it the way we all believe it should be done." Gresham said. Aside from that the producer also reportedly added that he will try not to make any flops in the upcoming movie.

As for the upcoming film's plot, according to Screenrant, the movie will be set several decades after the events in the Dawn Treader, but only a year in real world.
