The Director of the remake of “the little Mermaid” will be Robb Marshall. In the upcoming movie will feature original songs and tunes from the “classic” cartoon, released in 1989. Then the cartoon became a hit of its time, with its output connected “Renaissance Disney”.
While it is known the name of only one approved of the actress 19 – year-old singer Holly Bailey, which got the lead role of Ariel. In the Western world, rumor has it that Holly Bailey can also join Melissa McCarthy (Ursula), Javier Bardem (king Triton), Akvafina (scuttle) and Jacob Tremblay (flounder).
We will remind, earlier from the role of Prince Eric refused the singer and favorite of all teenagers Harry styles. The creators of the sequel thought he was like nobody else was approached for the role of Prince, possessing a beautiful voice, cute face and great hair. But, according to the publication Variety, the musician respectfully refused the role without explanation, although he is a big fan of “the little Mermaid”. Sources said that the initial information about the trial Stiles for the role were premature, and that the musician decided to move on.
“The little mermaid” will not be the first remake of Disney’s. A couple of years, the Corporation has managed to “resurrect” “the jungle Book”, “Aladdin”, “beauty and the beast,” “Mary Poppins” and “the lion King”, which became the highest grossing animated film in history, beating the record of “frozen.” But the company is not going to stop. The plans also shooting remakes the cartoon “Bambi”, “Cruella”, “Dumbo”, “Peter pan”, “Tinker bell” and “the sword in the stone”.
It is worth noting that “Disney” will record several iconic family films. Under the scope of the Directors got the legendary Christmas Comedy “home Alone”, a parody which recently took Makkala Culkin, the movie “night at the Museum”, “cheaper by the dozen” and “diary of a weakling”.
