New Regency has bought Tom Wheeler's fantasy-adventure pitch "Cutlass Islands" and set up the project with Alex Gartner at Mosaic Media and Shawn Levy's 21 Laps.

Levy's in talks to direct. His next project is the "Night at the Museum" sequel, which he's producing and directing.

Wheeler pitch centers on a pair of shipwrecked brothers uncovering the mystery of the Cutlass Islands, a lost world of mythological and magical species.

Gold Circle recently picked up Wheeler's script for fantasy-adventure "The Arcanum" in turnaround from Miramax. 

He's repped by WMA and Benderspink.
