Frozen & Tarzan Live-Action Remakes Rumored To Be In Development At Disney

There’s not much else to report on at this time in part due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. No one could be cast in anything right now. Seeing that the WGA strike was recently resolved, writing for the scripts would have just resumed. It’ll likely be a while until Disney officially confirms a live-action «Frozen» or «Princess and the Frog,» so, for now, viewers can only hold out hope.

Skyler Schuler ended the piece with another tidbit that may be of interest to fans of a certain Disney cult classic. He states, «I was having lunch with a friend in the industry, talking Disney, and they brought up that they were speaking with someone at Disney, and ‘Atlantis: The Lost Empire’ was brought up.» Granted, this has even less backing than the other projects. The studio is likely considering everything in its repertoire to mine, so while there may have been discussions about redoing «Atlantis: The Lost Empire,» it’s probably still a long shot if it comes to fruition. 

However, the fact Disney might be at least partly interested in «Atlantis» is a good sign for other obscure Disney titles getting another chance. Fans have wanted a live-action «Treasure Planet» for a while, and it arguably makes more sense for Disney to redo animated movies that weren’t big hits when they were released but became more popular later. While there’s not much concrete to take from any of this, the one clear thing is that Disney isn’t stopping the live-action gravy train any time soon.
