I wonder how much it will be closer (or farther away from) to the hans christian anderson fairy tale.

Lock and mock if old.

Chloe Grace Moretz is Waifu 4 Laifu. I'm sure she'll do great as The Little Mermaid.

 

[Aselith]

It's going to be directed by M Night and you'll find out at the end that she has a sister that is a reverse Mermaid.

 

[monchi-kun]

It's ok to fantasize about her now right?

 

[kswiston]

Universal wants in on that Pan money.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

I think Sofia was right on this one. Glad she isn't going to put up with the studio telling her who to cast.

Is dark retelling of fairy tale that big of a market?

how long have you been waiting?

Probably not; but cashing in on Disney's trend of remaking animated movies into live action ones is not too bad of a business model. People usually aren't aware enough to tell the difference.

Do a search on creepy gaf

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Universal has been on a roll recently, so maybe this will pan out for them. Since this is removed from the Disney version, I imagine they'll go darker with this. But you never know, Oz: The Great and Powerful was its own thing and they kept it fairly lighthearted...sorta.

Lol, was thinking the same. She is 18.

I think with Sofia Coppola this could have been really something.

We'll have to see what they do now that she's gone.

But I know a friend of a friend who might be in the running.

This project was more exciting when Sofia Coppola was on board. Still, Chloe Moretz is a pretty great choice for Ariel.

 

[Cloyster]

Curious if this will production will have an affect on my modern mermaid script

 

[Bob White]

Kept you waiting, huh?

Original post was better/hilarious/creepy as fuck lol.

 

[old manatee]

Are we talking regular mermaid or fish on top mermaid?

 

[Dereck]

Picturing her with red hair....yeah, that might work out.

Wasn't Oz Disney?

I know it was a good one but I just came off a ban! I can't go back and I'm not sure if that would be accepted

 

[Cloyster]

A little young here, but yeah I see it.

 

[Dan]

I don't know why anyone would throw money behind a big budget starring vehicle for her. She's a mediocre actress and she's had minimal success at the box office.

 

[NomarTyme]

Cute girl. Very distinctive look, especially when I saw her first on 30 rock.

Yep, Oz The Great and Powerful was Disney, but the popular Wizard of Oz movie that most people know is MGM.

I don't think they could do the Ariel version of the character. I am sure Disney has some rights over that.

Wait...Universal....

I smell a Cinematic Universe

Hot grill

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

I don't see the appeal, pretty dull actress outside of Kickass imo.

Live action LM however I'm def down for. Was weirded out the other day learning it was the first Disney movie based on a fairy tale since Sleeping Beauty. That's a 30 year gap O_O

The Mouse thought dem stories were cursed or something based on how Beauty performed.
