As long as she she doesn't need to move her forehead, then by all means keep Ming-Na in the role. Otherwise, Brenda Song just got (another) break of a lifetime.

i've read on chinese rumour mills that people are actively advocating for Jing Tian of The Great Wall and Kong (and the upcoming Pacific Rim 2) NOT be Mulan. If you've watched any of these movies, you'll be surprised at how top billing she gets with her... uh, acting prowess.

Chloe Bennett would make sense I guess since she's basically been the real Mulan's protege for five years now.

Did anybody even care about Disney's Mulan? I was under the impression it was one of the more underwhelming movies at the tail- end of the golden period.

It's well liked, and I'll Make a Man Out of You is popular beyond being a meme. Also despite B&B making all the money, most of what I've been hearing is that's a mess.

Disney has over a dozen live action remakes currently in production. Lion King, Aladdin and Dumbo will probably come out pretty soon and others include Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid, Pinocchio, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and a 101 Dalmatians spinoff focusing on Cruella deVille. Grendels Dad posted:Did anybody even care about Disney's Mulan? I was under the impression it was one of the more underwhelming movies at the tail- end of the golden period. I wouldn't have thought that The Jungle Book was all that popular any more but the live action remake Disney put in theatres last year came just shy of making a billion dollars worldwide. But then again their Pete's Dragon live action remake didn't set the world on fire so they're not all record breakers.

I'm definitely not the target market for Disney stuff but I can see why they'd remake poo poo if it'll net them more cash. Are they just pretty much straight copies of the animated ones or do they differ?

Does anyone remember Roberto Benigni's Pinocchio? Now that was a strange adaptation. Olympic Mathlete posted:I'm definitely not the target market for Disney stuff but I can see why they'd remake poo poo if it'll net them more cash. Are they just pretty much straight copies of the animated ones or do they differ? Cinderella and The Jungle Book follow a lot of the same plot beats, though with a different execution, so they're essentially alternative takes on the same source material. Maleficent completely rewrites the premise of the original to turn the villain into a heroic figure. I haven't seen Beauty and the Beast, but from what I've heard, it's fairly close to the animated version with a few additional story elements.

Mulan was always my favorite 90s Disney movie, Aladdin/Lion King/B&tB were so popular that I was trying to be cool by liking that and Hunchback when many of my peers did not (really liked the architecture and gothic vibe to the latter). The whole avalanche stampede part was too cool for a Disney cartoon.

It's not Pinnochio without Roberto Benigni In fact I'm sure a lot of the darkness our world is currently experiencing is a result of Roberto Benigni not getting screen time anymore Johnny Stecchino Is a classic and better than Johnny Dangerously/insert any mob comedy I miss him directing increasingly mediocre romantic odes to his wife

Do you think maybe Disney is doing these remakes in an attempt to retcon the old, handdrawn style of animation out of existence? So, like, in the future they can leave all of their old animated movies in the vault forever, and they can still use the relevant IPs at Disney parks but pretend the new live action movies invented them? To head off questions from future children about why the old animated movies look different from the new animated movies?

No. Theyre doing it for the absolute gobs of money it brings them while refreshing aging IPs to be used. All this vaulting and whatever is a side effect of making so much money that they can build a 1:1 replica of scrooge mcducks money vault.

I haven't seen any of those yet, better or worse than Angelababy in ID4: Resurgence? Because Angelababy put in the single worst English-language performance I have ever heard in that movie (though I don't feel qualified to judge her Mandarin acting).

Director Niki Caro is walking back the no songs in Mulan alreadyquote:“I don’t know where that’s come from. We’ve never talked about songs, and no decision has been made.” Just ignore it was Niki Caro who said there was no songs in the first place! http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-mulan-songs-niki-caro-20170322-story.html

Barudak posted:No. Yeah Disney have always been searching for ways to squeeze more money out of their back catalogue of films. Their live action remakes aren't even anything new, they did live action remakes of The Jungle Book and 101 Dalmatians back in the mid 90s. They've also remade live action movies like Flubber, That Darn Cat!, Escape to Witch Mountain and Freaky Friday and adapted their park rides into movies like Country Bears and Haunted Mansion and some pirate thing.

I get why they’d give it no songs because Mulan is fundamentally a war film. The animation subverted it by making it a comedy. But live action would be a lot harder. I just want it to be good. It’s a big deal, a big opportunity for Asian representation in Hollywood.

It'd be neat if Disney reversed this trend and started making animated remakes of their old live action properties, like The Absentminded Professor (sorry but Flubber SUCKED, Robin Williams is great but that movie was fundamentally ill-conceived), 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, and Old Yeller.

Casimir Radon posted:Doubtful in this day in age. Moana had Pacific Islanders in all key roles. I guess Temura Morrison doesn't sing so some guy from Hamilton did that. Plus I kind of doubt that they'd ever be dumb enough to throw away an opportunity to make the big bucks in China while everyone else is shamelessly pandering to them. quote:I hope they don't fly too close to the sun and try to do live action Poctahontas. That would be a loving disaster. From what I've heard, it seems they almost flew too close to the sun with Beauty and the Beast - that drat near everything it got right was just copy-pasted from the animated movie. At least with Mulan, the only fairy-tale stuff there is a few ghosts and a ferret-sized dragon. There's no reason it couldn't yield a respectable live-action movie if the creative control ends up with people who know what they're doing.
