Very little about these films (currently at conceptual stage) is known. There is only one entry on IMDB:
Sylvie and her younger brother Bruno escape the repressed Victorian era to explore a world of fantasy and wonderment.If they do make it to production, they would be the first ever adaptations of this notoriously tricky source material. Its currently unknown if the plot will include the real world strand as well as the Outland stories.
