Positive, “Black Adam” bombed on the field workplace. However that isn’t protecting Dwayne Johnson away from tentpole filmmaking anytime quickly. Now, he’s reloaded and able to deliver “Moana” to life, once more, however this time in live-action.
In keeping with Disney and Johnson (who launched a video speaking in regards to the undertaking, seen beneath), the studio is within the early phases of bringing a live-action “Moana” to the massive display screen. And sure, as you may need gathered from Johnson’s promotion of the movie and the announcement, the actor has joined the live-action movie to reprise his position of Maui within the new journey.
“I’m deeply humbled and overcome with gratitude to deliver the gorgeous story of ‘Moana’ to the live-action huge display screen,” mentioned Johnson. “This story is my tradition, and this story is emblematic of our folks’s grace and warrior power. I put on this tradition proudly on my pores and skin and in my soul, and this once-in-a-lifetime alternative to reunite with Maui, impressed by the mana and spirit of my late grandfather, Excessive Chief Peter Maivia, is one which runs very deep for me.”
He added, “I wish to thank my companions at Disney for his or her sturdy dedication to this particular endeavor, as a result of there isn’t any higher world for us to honor the story of our folks, our ardour and our function than by way of the realm of music and dance, which is on the core of who we’re as Polynesian folks.”
Right here’s how Disney describes the brand new movie:
Like its animated predecessor, the movie will have fun the islands, communities and traditions of Pacific Islanders as seen by way of the eyes of a younger girl wanting to pave her personal path. Moana’s journey of self-discovery and reflection on the lives of her ancestors received hearts worldwide, as did her newfound friendship with an exiled demigod named Maui.
Nothing else is absolutely identified in regards to the new movie. You need to assume Johnson is the one actor who will reprise a task within the new movie. Actress Auli‘i Cravalho, who voiced the title character within the 2016 movie, is concerned within the undertaking as an government producer, however clearly, she has aged out of the position. So, Disney goes to have to search out somebody new to fill these footwear.
Once more, that is actually early within the growth course of, so there isn’t even a launch date or any filmmaker connected. Nonetheless, it’s clear Johnson and Disney have excessive hopes for this live-action remake, because the earlier remakes have achieved huge enterprise for the studio.
