Disney Is Working on a Live-Action 'Mulan' Remake, Too: Report
It's no "Bambi," but Disney may already have already set its next animated flick due for a live-action reboot.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio wants to develop a live-action version of "Mulan," its 1998 film centered around the titular ancient Chinese girl, who disguises herself as a man to take her ailing father's place in battle. Disney has already reportedly purchased a script by Elizabeth Martin and Lauren Hynek that features the same Chinese legend of Hua Mulan, which inspired the original animated flick, THR writes.
While "Mulan"'s box office receipts were modest by Disney standards -- it pulled in around $304 million internationally -- the studio's recent success with live-action adaptations of its previous flicks has proven irresistibly lucrative. "Angelina Jolie, hauled in a whopping $758.4 million.
Disney is already actively developing a live-action "Alice in Wonderland" sequel "Through the Looking Glass," both due out in 2016.
Stay tuned for more info on "Mulan" as development continues.
