Disney has finally decided to adapt its revival milestone "The Little Mermaid" into a live-action musical film! This news was first exposed by Deadline. According to their report, Disney has already approached several heavyweight producers. They don't want to lose out to Universal, as the latter is also preparing to produce their live-action version of "The Little Mermaid" film. Currently, Disney's live-action film version of "The Little Mermaid" has set its sights on a director - their first choice is Rob Marshall, who has just collaborated with them on "Mary Popper 2" (for "Chicago", "Memoirs of a Geisha", and "The Dark Forest"), and they have extended an invitation to him. Previously, the film had invited big star Lin-Manuel Miranda and Disney legend Alan Manken to create new songs. Now, it has begun to challenge the director, and Marshall has received the invitation. He will spend some time considering it during the year-end holiday. Sources say he is expected to take on the role of director after the New Year.[Collapse]
