That's an... intersting casting choice.

Greta Gerwig is writing the script now.

Rehearsals have started in London

Honestly not sure how to feel about this, with all the discussion that has gone around about the dwarves. This picture just seems...strange

I was scared it would be delayed but not this long. But the more time to revision it the better.

To be fair to Disney, Lion King and Jungle Book were entirely CGI and massive hits. Mermaid probably 50%.

That said, that picture screams flop.

Is that an official photo?

It's better than before, the characters are dwarfs. But I do not understand this decision. This would have been a wonderful chance to give 7 talented dwarf actors the role of a lifetime. I know many suitable actors who dedicate their lives to this craft. Why slap them in the face again? Is Disney's standpoint "if our diverse bunch of magical creatures can't play the parts, nobody will"? Is animation the only way to be able to tell a story authentically nowadays, because of affectation?

Also, the quality of cgi animation is still not on a professional level in general. It looks kind of weird and cheap, even in The Little Mermaid they couldn't make it look right and organic. It doesn't come close to the fluidity and feel of 2d.

I can imagine they will have to re-shoot a lot of scenes, basically the whole movie. It's all very interesting and I wonder what Zegler will say about all this in the promo tour.

I remember seeing Rachel perform at a charity event - think it was Broadway Backwards- she was wonderful.
