Hmm, not sure if I'd cast Chloe Bennett as Mulan, but I would cast Will Yun Lee as Shang.

They're gonna go for a younger actress for Mulan

Arden Cho?

 

[Fozz]

So, who is Wool Smith playing in Dumbo?! Please don't let him be dumbo.

 

[blakep267]

So, who is Wool Smith playing in Dumbo?! Please don't let him be dumbo.

He would play the father of the kids who befriend Dumbo, and Tom Hanks would play the villain

So, who is Wool Smith playing in Dumbo?! Please don't let him be dumbo.

If a deal closes, Smith would play the father of the children who develop a friendship with the lovable elephant after seeing him at the circus.

 

[Fozz]

^Ahh, okay.

That cast for Beauty & The Beast is stacked.

Disney's Live-Action 'Mulan' Finds Director

Niki Caro will helm the film, while ‘Crouching Tiger’ producer Bill Kong is joining as executive producer.
Niki Caro, who broke through with the 2002 Maori family drama Whale Rider, will direct Disney’s live-action Mulan, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

In an industry where female-helmed tentpoles are still rare, Caro will be the second woman at the studio to direct a movie budgeted at over $100 million. (Ava DuVernay is the first, with A Wrinkle in Time.)

Caro’s most recent film, Focus’ upcoming The Zookeeper’s Wife, has been praised for its gender-inclusive set by its star, Jessica Chastain. Disney previously worked with Caro, a New Zealand native, on the 2015 cross-country drama McFarland, USA, for which she lived in central California for nearly a year to immerse herself in the Mexican-American community there.

Disney also considered other women for its woman-warrior project, including Wonder Woman’s Patty Jenkins and Michelle MacLaren (Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones). Caro’s hiring likely takes her out of the running for Captain Marvel, the studio’s first female-fronted superhero movie. THR reported last August that she was on the short list of directors for that film, along with Homeland’s Lesli Linka Glatter and Lorene Scafaria, who helmed 2012’s Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.

Disney and producers Chris Bender, Jason Reed and Jake Weiner are taking pains to assure fans that Mulan will be culturally authentic. The studio had initially sought an Asian director for the project, meeting with Ang Lee (who passed, citing scheduling) and Rogue One star Jiang Wen, a hit director in his native China. Sony, which is developing a rival live-action film about the Chinese legend, also hoped to put an Asian director at the helm, but ultimately hired television veteran Alex Graves.

In addition to extensive conversations with Chinese cultural consultants and working closely with Disney’s own China-based team, the studio is bringing on Hong Kong-based super-producer Bill Kong as executive producer. Kong produced the most successful Chinese films to cross over — Hero, House of Flying Daggers and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, for which he received an Oscar nomination — as well as many of China’s biggest hits, including Monster Hunt, Wolf Totem and Journey to the West.

Last fall, controversy briefly arose when reports surfaced that the original spec that Disney purchased, written by Lauren Hynek and Elizabeth Martin, featured non-Chinese characters, including a white male lead. Disney quickly responded that Mulan and all primary characters in its movie, which has been rewritten by Jurassic World’s Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, will remain Chinese. The studio is focusing its casting search in mainland China for the main roles, including the legendary woman warrior herself.

Can they add Ming Na and Jackie Chan to the live-action Mulan as a nod from the animated film?

I was watching the movie last week and heard Jackie Chan's voice as one of the soldiers signing up to fight the war. Then googled to find out he was the voice of Li Shang in the Chinese version of the movie. Cool.

 

[the qbz]

Can my dude b.d. wong be anywhere in the movie?

 

[Fozz]

Can my dude b.d. wong be anywhere in the movie?

He should be, since he was Li Shang lol.

 

[the qbz]

He should be, since he was Li Shang lol.

He could play fathrr li shang as they might need some one younger lol

 

[suprduperfly]

I don't get it, why is this exciting for anyone over 21?

Call me a hater, but I don't see the point of remaking all these animated films.

I get the money part for the Company making it, but for the patrons....why?

 

[rfx45]

Nostalgia? I mean these are films we grew up in.

I also find it amazing that technology has moved along far enough that these films can be made into a "live-action" film.

I mean these stories aren't really bad at all, what's wrong with seeing a good story on the big screen whether it's an animated adaptation or not?

 

[Fozz]

Because people are Disney fans? Some of the re-makes are some people favorite movies growing up? It's live action?

I mean, really?

 

[slighted]

So Mulan is full steam ahead

Who's gonna play Mulan + her man?

 

[rfx45]

I don't think they've been casted yet or not announced at least.

I don't think they've been casted yet or not announced at least.

If I may throw my suggestions out there in Hollywood fashion:

Mulan = Scarlett Johansson

Shang = Bradley Cooper

Mushu dragon = Kevin Hart
