Although Jon M. Chu (“Crazy Rich Asians”) was initially chosen to direct the real action remake of “Lilo and Stitch”, the deal between Chu and Disney never ended and now the director Dean Fleischer-Camp filmed behind the cameras. The film is still in development and has neither a screenwriter nor a cast, because it is not known, it is not known whether it will go to the cinema or go directly to Disney +. Of course, there is a previous script written by Mike Van Waes about the characters created by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois in 2002.
This will be the first major production for Fleischer-Camp, which has just released “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On” for A24, feature film based on a short film he created in 2010 with actress Jenny Slate, which also doubles the main character. Despite only being released in 48 theaters in the United States, the film has already raised more than a million dollars in less than a month and has become a hit for the production company. Fleischer-Camp’s other work includes many short films, documentaries such as “Fraud” and the series “Catherine” and “Brody Stevens: Enjoy It!”
The live of “Lilo and Stitch” will be produced by Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich for Rideback, the company behind the new version of ‘Aladdin’. Ryan Halprin will serve as executive producer.
The others live action
Of course, “Lilo and Stitch” is neither the first, nor the only, nor the rarest live-action remake from Disney. La casa del ratato has already released ‘The Lion King’ (for which he is preparing a sequel), ‘Aladdin’, ‘Beauty and the Beast’, ‘Mulan’ and ‘Dumbo’ and ‘The Little Mermaid’ with singer Halle Bailey as Ariel and “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” with Rachel Zegler.
