Disney chief executive Bob Iger announced a live-action “Moana” remake is in development Monday in a call with investors. The production is in the early stages — no director has been announced — but Dwayne Johnson is set to return as the demigod Maui.
“This story is my culture, and this story is emblematic of our people’s grace and warrior strength,” said Johnson. “I wear this culture proudly on my skin and in my soul, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reunite with Maui, inspired by the mana and spirit of my late grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia, is one that runs very deep for me.”
Drawn from Polynesian myths and buoyed by songs from Lin-Manuel Miranda, “Moana” was a massive hit for Disney in 2016, grossing $643.3 million worldwide. Auli‘i Cravalho, who voiced Moana in the original, is to be an executive producer on the live-action version.
Is Moana going to be trans? Or non binary or some shit like that?
'YOU'RE WELCOME!'
I guess the takeaway here, as a generation, we have no original ideas left.... just sad
The rock playing as a rock
Hopefully the girl who sang the song can actually play herself, if the Rock can, why can't she?
This too will suck.
Who?
No one is going to watch that woke garbage.
