5 Disney movies that are getting a live action adaptation

     We all watched some (if not all) of Disney movie at one point of our childhood, and for a lot of you readers, that part of your lives is long since gone. But not the need to enjoy those simple happy endings where the good guys live happily ever after, and all what we are left with is the shame of watching animated movies that are meant for kids.

     But fear not dear reader, for we are expecting to see some live action titles that made us as excited as a kid about to watch The lion king or Aladdin, all while preserving what’s left of our dignity.

     So here are some of the famous Disney fairytales that expected to get the live action treatment:

Beauty And The Beast:

Release date: 17th March 2017

 

This live action adaptation of Beauty and the beast will be directed by Bill Condon, and will star the stunning Emma Watson as Belle, and Dan Stevens as The Beast. Do I need to say more?

The Little Mermaid:

Release date: 2017

Although an exact release date is yet to be announced, the live action based on Hans Christian Andersen’s Danish fairy tale is expected to see the light in 2017 too. The movie will be directed by Rebecca Thomas, and will star the young Chloe Grace Moretz as Ariel

Mulan:

Release date: November 2018

Sony have announced that the are bringing the legend of the female warrior ‘Hua Mulan’ to the big screen again, except this time it’ll be a live action. The movie, which doesn’t have a director or a cast yet, will take on the same story, but it won’t be based on the Disney adaptation. It is also worth mentioning that the cast will consist of various Asian talent, which is a big plus.

The Jungle Book Origins:

Release date: October 2018

Although we have recently see a Jungle Book movie (and boy what a movie that was!), this time it’s warner bros who announced that one of their releases planned for 2018 will be The jungle Book Origins.

This live action will be directed by Andy Serkis, who will also voice Baloo, along with a cast filled with some big names such as Benedict Cumberbatch as Shere Khan, Christian Bale as Bgheera, and Kate Blanchett as Kaa.

The Lion King:

Release date: TBA

No release date, director or cast were announced, but we do know that Jon Favreau is in charge of bringing the animated movie that first taught us that that life is a b**** all while breaking our little hearts to the big screen. Personally, this one is my favorite!

     These are some of the names that are expected to hit the big screen in the next few years. Personally, I can’t wait for them to be out but all we can do now is hope that they will be as good as their predecessors.
