Miscellaneous / / July 15, 2022
Disney planned the release of the film based on "Lilo and Stitch" in 2024. The film was originally supposed to be directed by John M. Choo (“Step Up 2: The Streets”), but later the company decided to invite Dean Fleischer Camp, known for the touching cartoon “Marseille, a Shell in the Shoes,” instead.
Ryan Halprines of Rideback, the company behind the remake of Disney's Aladdin, will be executive producing. Producers include Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich.
The screenwriter of the film has not yet been appointed: Disney is in talks with Chris Kekaniokalani Bright. Which actors will take part in the project is still unknown.
The original - a cartoon about "Lilo and Stitch" - was released in 2002. It tells the story of a girl, Lilo, and her sister, Nani, who live in Hawaii and meet an alien named Stitch. Later they become very friendly and call each other "ohana" - family.
Lilo & Stitch already has spin-offs, including sequels Stitch: The Movie, Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch's Big Problem, Leroy & Stitch. There was also a show called Lilo & Stitch: The Series on Disney and ABC Kids from 2003 to 2006.
Disney is also preparing a remake of The Little Mermaid, in which singer Halle Bailey will play Ariel and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula.
