Quote:
Singer-actress Halle Bailey will be part of Disney's world.

Bailey, part of the R&B duo Chloe x Halle, has nabbed the starring role in Disney's live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, and will play the role of Ariel, the rebellious daughter of King Triton who longs to live on dry land.

The decision was made today with the budding actress notified later Wednesday morning.

Mermaid is casting up, with Melissa McCarthy, Jacob Tremblay and Awkwafina in talks to star and lend their voices to other live-action and CG parts.

Rob Marshall is set to direct, after helming the studio's sequel to Mary Poppins, Mary Poppins Returns.


TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

Lion King has a bigger following than Aladdin.
It'll make its money, but it will need to be good or else people will shit on it hard.

Yeah, wonder about that to.
Either all characters are CGI or the most human-like characters are played by live actors. I'd bet on the latter.

It's a fucking mermaid who cares about her skin color as long as she looks good with a shell bikini top and a fishtail.
Ariel is the one Disney Princess where it really doesn't matter cause she doesn't actually have a predefined ethnicity in the fairy tale but is a fantasy creature.

Not that I really care, but indeed I doubt the Danish had any ethnicity in mind. Poker Face

Next we get a black geralt who slays monsters and fuck women. Who cares right? as long as he looks badass?
