Becuase the amount of Live Action remake threads are getting cluttery, I made this thread so people could discuss all of them in one neat place. For ease of catching up, I'll post all the Live action Disney movies we have and the movies that will be coming soon.

[up][up][up]Basically some wild snowstorm happened, leaving some snow/winter stuff in the middle of the burning weather. Hence blizzard beach.

Is that all… they’ll probably beef it up to a potential apocalypse if they adapt.

Anyone interested in Young Woman and the Sea? Looks like a real Oscar grab from the studio.

According to wikipedia

According to Disney "legend," a freak snowstorm on January 11, 1977, in the area led to the development of Florida's first ski resort. Ski lifts were put up, toboggan runs were laid down and an entire resort area blossomed around the mountain of snow. Naturally, because of the normal temperatures in Florida, the snow dissipated very quickly, and the snow rapidly turned into slush. This left behind a collection of waterlogged yet snowless ski jumps and chair lifts. The operators were preparing to cut their losses and walk away. However, they were interrupted by a loud yell coming from the summit of the mountain of melting snow and looked up to see a blue alligator sliding down the mountain at top speed. Ice Gator, the mascot, then landed in a pool of melted snow at the base of the mountain with a thunderous splash. The ski resort operators suddenly saw the park's potential, and the mountain of snow became Disney's Blizzard Beach, "the most slushy, slippery, exhilarating water park anywhere!"

Slalom courses, bobsled, and toboggan runs became downhill water slides. The creek of melted snow that formed at the base of the mountain became a relaxing tube ride. The chairlift carried swimmers instead of skiers. The ski jump became the tallest and fastest water slide in the world.

Good for Daisy Ridley that she's headlining a major Disney product now outside of Star Wars. Hoping it goes well for her.

I just wanna say how bizarre it is we're getting a sequel to the original animated film (which isn't that old of a film), and a live-action remake within a short timespan.

I get live action remakes make a lot of money, and I get sequels make a lot of money, but maybe releasing them so close together for the same film would undermine both? While I think the remakes are unnecessary, wouldn't it be better to remake an older Pixar film (even one that's, relatively recent, like Tangled, I would say Frozen because a remake of that would make boatloads of money, but I think they're focusing on sequels first) than remake a film you're about to make a sequel for? People might be Moana-d out by the time of the remake, or think the sequel is pointless as a new continuity will be made soon.

[down]Oh yeah. I just sort of conflate CGI Pixar and CGI Disney in my head. Still, I think my point still stands (just replace mentions of Pixar with Disney).

The deal or the Moana remake?

Both, actually. The Moana remake, it'll be interesting seeing a Maui who isn't the cartoonish exaggeration we see in the film (though whether or not he'll be done well is another matter entirely)... and as for the deal... I'll be honest, Dwayne Johnson might actually bring something to these live action remakes worth talking about. I don't know if it'll be a good something, but you know what, I'm certainly intrigued now.

@Brandon They saw Warner Bros. trying to do three different Batman continuities and were like "Hold my beer, but just for a second"

I’m more cynical; combined with the not so well received attempts at the movie star push at Netflix (Red Notice) and Warner (Black Adam) the big Moana push (and returning to Fast & Furious) all reads more like Dwayne playing it safe with known hits.

People magazine says filming has begun on a sequel to Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis’ Freaky Friday.

Apparently, it’s going to theatres. Not streaming.

Rewatching Cruella.

The Baroness is pretty much running a business by having her underlings come up with ideas. Then she approves and models them in public, earning headlines and reputation for her "design."

Slashing one of her own employees and getting away with it aside this isn't how the fashion industry works, right?

Also I like this movie. Yeah it's not... a good origin story for a villain, but I don't entirely hate it. Getting a nice "this person was oppressed but was secretly always rotten" twist wouldn't be so bad."

If we got a Jafar where it turned out Jafar was a street rat like Aladdin too, but unlike Aladdin lacked a good heart and refused to sacrifice his desires, leading him to grabbing power as the Sultan's vizier - I'd dig it.

Scar might be harder to portray since the lions are, well, lions. He's getting a comic book prequel though.

Already the case in the live action adaptation Aladdin (2019)

He was just a thief like Aladdin, and served time in jail in another country before ending up as the Sultan's number two.

Of course that Jafar was not as good as the original animated one.

Yeah, I mean an actual movie based on that. I'd have watched it. That was probably my favorite scene in the remake.

Strange that despite being in the movie, Jim Cummings didn't reprise his role as Monterey Jack in Rescue Rangers 2022. Then again everyone outside of Tress MacNeille.

I rather liked the film myself. It's a pretty fun mockery of modern Hollywood animation conventions.
