Martin over on WDWM is saying the new Illuminations is currently being worked and that "Hardware is currently being fabricated for the new show". He has also said that IP "may or may not" be used in the show, but that it will have an original score. Lastly, he mentioned that the boring-to-most middle part of the show may employ the use of drones.
Steve Davison is the lead on the Illuminations project.

He was the lead on WoC, if that tells you anything
It will be interesting to see what they do with the new IllumiNations
I think the story is fine, I mean, it's the greatest story ever told afterall

He's been tied to this project for so long and I've heard so much it all has blurred together. I feel there's been an Illuminations replacement ready since early 2010s lead by Steve.
There's a Davison fan club in WDI/themed design so expect to see lots of support for this show no matter what.

It's time for Illuminations to get the update, but Christ it's gonna be hard to see it go. Just thinking about certain elements give me goosebumps (torches blown out, the globe reveal), and We Go On is one of the greatest songs in the entire Disney catalog.

Man I'm just thinking about the last night of ROE and how packed it will be.
My guess is we see the current Illuminations set up (intro/finale), with changes to the soundtrack (like they did for Fantasmic at Disneyland) and have IPs take over the middle of the show. Frozen, Ratatouille, Guardians, Nemo, Figment could possibly have scenes.
With the recent push for more IPs in the parks I could definitely see that happening
That's the vibe I get as-well.
The new Illuminations will be inspired by the current and classic versions, under a new alias, with a mixture of original scenes along with IP scenes covered by Frozen, Nemo, Figment, Ratatouille, and Mary Poppins instead of Guardians (MP will be more timeless IMO). And that Drones, Fireworks, and projection mapping will be incorporated into the new show.
I remain somewhat intrigued by what's going on at WOL. Seems like a lot of effort if it's just going to remain special event/retail space.
It’s not going to remain an event space if current proposals go through. According to Martin, they’ve come to realize that using prime theme park real estate as event space isn’t the best use of the building and there’s a particular IP being thrown around for the space.
Better be Inside Out so they can spare Figment the indecency of being evicted twice.

So presumably the space would become home to a for-real attraction? That would be a wonderful development... provided whatever theme goes in there is appropriate. Given its proximity to Guardians, that makes me slightly uneasy.

It seems fair to me since Inside Out was inspired by Cranium Command who actually was born there ;-)
