" Disney has plans to remake Pete&amp;#039;s Dragon. Ain&amp;#039;t Them Bodies Saints director David Lowery has signed on with writing partner Toby Halbrooks to work on the script, reports Deadline.   The duo will reimagine the 1977 film that fused animation and live-action. Pete&amp;#039;s Dragon tells the tale of a young orphan who moves to a quiet fishing community with his sometimes-invisible dragon Elliot. Unlike the original, the new version will not be a musical. Lowery&amp;#039;s gritty drama Ain&amp;#039;t Them Bodies Saints was well received at its Sundance premiere. It will arrive in cinemas on August 16. The writer is not attached to direct Pete&amp;#039;s Dragon. Watch a TV spot for Pete&amp;#039;s Dragon below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
