Disney’s Lilo & Stitch Live-Action Remake
 

https://screenrant.com/lilo-stitch-l...mpaign=SR-FB-P

Lilo & Stitch has now joined the ever-growing list of Disney animated films that are in the process of being remade in live-action. The Oscar-nominated 2002 feature told the story of Stitch aka. Experiment #626, an extraterrestrial genetic experiment who manages to escape the custody of the Galactic Federation and find his way to earth. There, the creature passes itself off as being a (rather unusual looking) dog and becomes the pet to a lonely Hawaiian girl named Lilo.

While the animated Lilo & Stitch was only a modest financial success by the Mouse House's standards (grossing $273 million at the global box office against an $80 million budget), it was generally well-received for its quirky humor and idiosyncratic, yet emotionally rich, story and characters. The movie eventually launched multiple direct to video sequels and TV series, and is nowadays generally regarded as one of Disney's best animated films released in the 2000s. Lilo & Stitch directors Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders likewise went on to even bigger ventures - namely, the How to Train Your Dragon franchise at DreamWorks Animation.

According to THR, Disney is now planning to re-imagine Lilo & Sitch as a live-action/CGI hybrid. The project is being produced by Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich (who are also backing the Mouse House's live-action Aladdin remake) and written by Mike Van Waes, an up and comer who is also working on The Conjuring spinoff The Crooked Man for Warner Bros. and New Line. For the time being, the Lilo & Stitch remake does not have a director attached.

It's not clear yet whether the Mouse House is planning to release the Lilo & Stitch remake in theaters or as an Original Movie through its upcoming streaming service (which is expected to launch sometime in Fall 2019). Disney already has live-action remakes of The Sword in the Stone and Lady and the Tramp in the pipeline and is planning to release both films through its as-yet officially untitled service. Seeing as Lilo & Stitch is a comparatively smaller brand like those IPs, the Mouse House may be planning to premiere its remake as a streaming original too.

For related reasons, it's also starting to become less a question of which beloved Disney animated films are getting a remake and more a question of which ones are not being re-imagined for live-action. This news about a Lilo & Stitch remake in particular will almost certainly prompt a mixed reaction among the 2002 animated movie's fans, many of whom grew up watching and loving the original as children. On the plus side, though, a live-action retelling does provide the chance for some welcome onscreen representation for Hawaiian actors in a non-animated Disney film.

Bruh they better do Treasure Planet and give it the justice it deserves. It did not deserve the development hell it went through (which is probably why it ended up not doing so great), especially when the main brains behind it had to wait decades to do it. And only got to at a really bad time in the company's history.



Plus, all those awesome alien designs would look even more awesome.

Well here we go again...hopefully they will do this one right.

At some point Disney probably will do another adaptation of Treasure Island. However, it will be different from Treasure Planet. Space movies outside of Star Wars and Star Trek can be risky gambles. It will be more traditional.

A live action Treasure Planet would be super expensive. And that the original flopped means it can't even be a consideration.

They're starting the dig the bottom of the barrel now, though. They're all out of the "Big" classics, though, to live-actionize.

That's good, though. Live action Oliver & Company is even closer!

Wake me up when they announce a live action Emperor's New Groove.

A modern day adaptation of Dickens' Oliver Twist is in the works at Disney and it will apparently star Ice Cube as Fagin.

He wants hip talking dogs, you pleb.

I love "Oliver & Company". Don't you f*cking tease me with sh*t like this. I will fight you.

Really!!!!! a live action Lilo and Stich. :ohwell:

Wake me up when theirs a live action Gargoyles movie.

Makes sense from a budgetary standpoint. Compared to the other remakes, this should be relatively cheap to make.

Mostly takes place on earth, in modern times and most the CGI would be on a small creature.

A live action Gargoyles movie would be awesome.

Atlantis will never get a live action movie :(

The film will be released exclusively to Disney+ according to a report. Also, Chris Sanders is expected to return as the voice Stitch. Filming will begin the fall and the budget is expected to be around the same as the Lady and the Tramp remake.

I want my live action "The Black Cauldron" movie.

Ditto to Gargoyles and Black Cauldron!

The film has apparently found a director and it's John M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, G.I. Joe: Retaliation)

Lilo is going to be a teenager? :tconfuse: That doesn't make any sense. Nani raising her little sister by herself was a big part of the original movie's story.

Rumor: Siena Agudong Joins Disney’s Live-Action ‘Lilo & Stitch’

Zack Galafinakas has joined the film. Details on his part are unknown. The film will also now be directed by Dean Fleischer Camp.
