Live-Action Moana Announcement
The new feature film is produced by Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia via their Seven Bucks Productions, and Beau Flynn via Flynn Picture Co. Executive producers include Auli‘i Cravalho, who voiced Moana in the 2016 film, and Scott Sheldon of Flynn Picture Co. Jared Bush and Samoan industry pro Dana Ledoux Miller will also take part in the production. Bush, who was a director and co-writer of Disney’s Oscar®-winning feature “Encanto” and a writer and co-director on Disney’s Oscar®-winning film “Zootopia,” wrote the screenplay for 2016’s “Moana.”
Like its animated predecessor, the film will celebrate the islands, communities and traditions of Pacific Islanders as seen through the eyes of a young woman eager to pave her own path. Moana’s journey of self-discovery and reflection on the lives of her ancestors won hearts worldwide, as did her newfound friendship with an exiled demigod named Maui.
Johnson, who plans to return to the fictional world to set sail with Moana, said, “I’m deeply humbled and overcome with gratitude to bring the beautiful story of Moana to the live action big screen. This story is my culture, and this story is emblematic of our people’s grace and warrior strength. I wear this culture proudly on my skin and in my soul, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reunite with Maui, inspired by the mana and spirit of my late grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia, is one that runs very deep for me. I want to thank my partners at Disney for their strong commitment to this special endeavor, because there is no better world for us to honor the story of our people, our passion and our purpose than through the realm of music and dance, which is at the core of who we are as Polynesian people.”
Native Hawaiian actor Cravalho, who helped shape Moana in the original film, said the beloved protagonist’s reach is sweeping. “She has had such a profound impact on how we think of Disney princesses,” she said. “Moana’s strength and perseverance are inspiring—to audiences around the world, to me and to everyone who helped bring her to life. I’m looking forward to sharing her story in a whole new way.”
Sean Bailey, president of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production (Disney Live Action), said the film would join a successful lineup of live-action adaptations that include 2017’s “Beauty and the Beast,” 2019’s “Aladdin” and the highly anticipated live-action version of “The Little Mermaid,” opening May 26. “It’s still early, but the idea of working with these fantastic partners to tell such a meaningful story on a live-action canvas, particularly as we celebrate 100 years of storytelling at Disney, is thrilling,”said Bailey.
Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Moana” debuted in theaters on Nov. 23, 2016, grossing nearly $644 million in global box office. The title, which debuted on Disney+ with the streamer’s 2019 launch, is among the top 15 movies streamed in the United States in 2022. The film’s soundtrack, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Opetaia Foa’iand Mark Mancina, was lauded worldwide. Miranda won a GRAMMY® for best song written for visual media (“How Far I’ll Go”), and an Oscar® nomination for best achievement in music written for motion pictures – original song (“How Far I’ll Go”). In 2021, the “Moana” soundtrack broke a Billboard Soundtrack chart record for the amount of time spent at number one (52 weeks). Additionally, the film was nominated for an Academy Award (best animated feature film of the year), a BAFTA (best animated feature film) and a pair of Golden Globes® (best motion picture – animated and best original song (“How Far I’ll Go”).

What?! Why the hell would you want to remake Moana?! This just sucks. It's one of the most stupid things I've ever heard. Also, the fact that they want to remake Lilo & Stitch. I can't even imagine how they can recreate Stitch in CGI without him being creepy.

Disney used to be at the forefront of creativity and then got under a management that focuses almost entirely on reducing the risk of losing money, by recycling once successful concepts. Trying new things that will be remembered for being groundbreaking and original, can lead to failures, but one cannot produce iconic and original masterpieces without taking that risk.
I haven’t seen one of these live action remakes except for Mulan and I‘m not going to watch this one either, because I still have some hope, that one day Disney will return to its creative roots and stop pumping out one cash grab after the other.
all of you are so annoying , if you don’t want to watch the movie, THEN DONT! lots of people are actually excited for it and hating doesn’t make it go away… just leave it alone

The trailer should start with the intro of Maui singing “I know it’s too much, the hair the bod! “ and then Bam the rock and then Hei hei❤

I can't wait for the live action movie

Ice cream?
Nice
Everyone saying they don't want a remake, but I am on the absolute other end and have been craving a live action of it!!! I adore live actions. (As long as they're done correctly and they don't destroy the animation by changing so much-- Totally targeting Mulan.)
Ответить
Lets see. Hit movie. Owns vacay property in Hawaii. Wants more tourism$. Live action subsidized partially with state tourism $. Its like the comments know but wont say it...

Well there going to be changed as Hollywood destroys them.

Moana is a perfect movie. Why are they doing this? Well, maybe Lin Manuel Miranda can be nominated for an Oscar again and win this time. He deserved it last time but was stupidly robbed by the lousy music in Lalaland.
Ответить
Moana is a legendary movie. And it’s only been around for 6 years. There’s literally no point in recreating it live action. What, because it was so successful it can be successful again? Tell that to the other remakes, or should I say demakes. Make something original instead of profiting off of past successors
Ответить
PLEASE JUST MAKE A SEQUEL
Ответить
Huge news! Loved Moana, one of my all time favorite animated movies, super excited for the live action movie! Excited to see Rock perform “ You’re Welcome “ in live action 😊🙌
