The Hollywood Reporter:

Lilo & Stitch, the 2002 animated movie from Walt Disney Feature Animation, is getting the live-action treatment, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The studio has hired up-and-comer Mike Van Waes to pen the script for the remake that will be produced by Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich of Rideback, formerly known as Lin Pictures. The two are already known in the Disney halls as they working on the high-profile live-action remake of Aladdin.

“Hey, Dan. Did we re-make this one yet?“

“No, not yet.“

“Cool, that’s next.“

I still think, like with all remakes, they should focus on the movies that didn’t work and use these remakes as a bogey.

Treasure Planet, anyone? Maybe a cool, Guillermo del Toro-esq Atlantis?
