The Little Mermaid | Disney | May 26, 2023 | Queen Halle will rule the summer!

I want to see Harry play mermaid. He is more pretty.

Honestly people hated hard on the Aladdin casting and the Aladdin cast was the best part of the movie. Sure this seems like stunt casting but at least Harry can sing.

Yep. He also held his own in a Nolan movie, I was impressed. And despite the hate the casting for this has gotten, it's already generated a lot of hype. Prince Eric trended on twitter multiple times, even before today's news lol.

now people are not happy about the possible Styles hire? 

 

No not really, there are always gonna be people unhappy because Disney is ruining childhoods or whatever with these live-action remakes even though they've been financially exploiting The Little Mermaid and the others since their original release years and the movie's reputation hasn't suffered at all.

Going from Nolan to Rob Marshall is gonna be a pretty big step-down for his sophomore acting gig. I quite liked him in that, it was cool that he'd rather do that Elivis film, since it's not a guaranteed money maker like this is, and would really push his acting abilities since he'd be going toe to toe with Hanks.

Elvis is controversial now Jesus.

Can't keep up with all that progress.

We re approaching peak enlightenment and peak wisdom way too quickly.

If Richard Madden can go from a big role in GoT to playing the love interest in Cinderella and now getting leading parts in tv shows and movies (and winning a GG in the process), I think Harry will be fine. Being in a blockbuster will give him more exposure and if he is really serious about acting and makes smart choices, he can land more serious roles later on. Elvis was obviously not the role for him (thank goodness.)

playing the love interest in Cinderella

Kenneth Braughn vs. Rob Marshall. I'd wager this'll be closer to Dumbo/Lion King than Cinderella quality-wise. A project like Elvis would certainly ask a lot more from him than this will, and maybe he would have surprised in that part were he cast. He debuted with a Nolan film so I was expecting him to do more projects like that.

[filmlover]

The role of Prince Eric requires little more from Harry Styles than to be charming, which shouldn't be difficult to pull off. Haven't seen that Austin Butler dude in anything yet but I definitely feel like Styles would've been all wrong for Elvis.

[DisposedData]

Prince Eric is supposed to be the hottest Disney prince yet you choose this guy to play him?

LOL Matching Cinderella would hardly be difficult. I'd say this movie already has more going for it than any other Disney live action remake, save Mulan. 

 

Don't really care if Elvis would have asked more from him, I have no desire to see the movie or him in it. Debuting in a Nolan film is nice but doesn't mean he can't do different things. It would be refreshing to see that he is not some wannabe snob who thinks he's too good for Disney because he had a role in a Nolan film.

I know Rob Marshall is a cheesy director who's hit or miss but why are we acting like he isn't an oscar nominated director and didn't direct a Best Picture Winner. I adore Baz but technically he's never even been nominated for directing lol.

Flow Styles obviously great casting who will dominate, he may steal the title of "The next Leo" from Efron afterall

Dang, I didn't think that one would actually pan out.

 

Are they ever going to cast more black people? Probably Sebastian, right, but I think most of the main human(oid) characters are done with.
