[Kalo]

Didnt she refuse Cinderella. I doubt she's interested in this kind of movies.

She is already Belle, where have you been? 

[James]

She's doing Beauty and the Beast. What's the difference?

Really?

[ecstasy]

I approve of this fan casting.

After Deadline broke news last week that Sofia Coppola had signed to direct a live-action “The Little Mermaid,” media outlets started to speculate that Emma Watson (who appeared in Coppola’s “Bling Ring”) would be perfect casting as Ariel.

Well, it turns out, Watson already has the costume at home. But it’s an old costume. “I actually dressed up as Ariel for my fifth birthday,” Watson, 23, told Variety at the premiere of “Noah,” her upcoming Biblical adventure starring Russell Crowe and directed by Darren Aronofsky.

She hasn’t been offered the fin-flipping role yet. “I mean I’d have to read it first,” Watson said, adding, “I love Sofia so much.”

Really?

you didn't read my gushing posts in the beauty and the beast thread?... shame.

[CJohn]

When last checked was thinking at least 25 and as high as 28 , think its doing more than 22.5 but see how it progresses.

Beauty and the Beast is actually my favourite Disney princess animation so I'm glad for that.

What happened to this? I want Little Mermaid more than any other live action Disney Princess movie!

Hope Emma does well practicing her singing.

I'm guessing the production cost would be enormous.

[K1stpierre]

I'm not sold on that Ariel

[Kalo]

Not to mention imagining the underwater world would be really hard to pull off in live action. But if done right, it could be one of the most visually stunning films ever made.

Beats me, schedule problems, maybe it wasn't meant for her, more money perhaps or Belle was more interesting than Ariel?

It be like Avatar but underwater.

or Belle was more interesting than Ariel?

You take that back right now!!

One of the reasons POTC had so many land scenes is because Disney wanted to cut from the huge costs of filming on water. And even so, POTC4 still cost 250M.  Granted, Depp had a huge payment on that, but even so the budget is big. POTC 3 cost a reportedly 300M and let's be honest here, we all know that "reported budgets" are the lower end of the deal. And those are movies that made 1B, which an Ariel movie likely won't have a chance at doing.
