OT-ish live action Mulan has got a release date

I don't know...Mulan is honestly my favorite Disney animated film. How will they pull off the battles and keep it under budget? The film's somewhat of a grand scale with that and the Emperor's palace. I wonder if they'll seek out Chinese boxoffice with it - maybe funding and a few of their stars.

Gotta say I'm staying realistic, but the thought of live action Mulan is pretty exciting.

Who would you cast?

I'm really excited for Mulan, as this is Disney's chance to really pull out the action stops and broaden their world a bit as Mulan is more historical based (its ancient china) rather then fairy tale based...even though it does have magical things like Mushu.

I'm curious to see how they handle the violence...it IS a war story so they have to show that this is serious business and the characters can be hurt or killed, but at the same time be careful not to get too violent and scare away the kids as its still got to be a 'Disney film'....it will be a delicate balancing act as in many ways you can get away with more in animation then in live action.

I hope they keep the avalanche, that was always one of my favorite scenes in the film 

I'm hoping to check out that movie. I like Mulan :D :)

I'm kinda worried about this one because Hollywood has a bad history of casting Asian characters with a white actor or creating a white character and giving them an important role.

Hopefully Disney is smart enough to not do either of those, but after the botched casting of Doctor Strange I'm not so sure.

Don't you lay a hand on my Sasquatch!

I doubt they'd white-wash it. They'd be too afraid of the social media sh!t-storm.

Cheers!

I’m sure Disney wouldn’t try to whitewash a movie like this, especially when it comes to the popular main heroine. It probably wouldn’t be wise on their part if they did consider the media backlash. Mushu could be voiced by another famous black celebrity at the moment, or whoever talent they felt is capable for that role. I think it would be cooler if Eddie Murphy could reprise the role.
