This is one of the few live-action remakes of Disney Animated films I can get behind. Atlantis would probably be far more popular released today in live action.
Doja Cat dressed up like Kida? That's her? Sign her up already and use her cosplay for marketing.
my friend, if you've ever been near casting call for such a character, you'll find tenths of women that look that great and actually have acting skills.
There's just too many artists in the world.
Easily a contender. She did a great job playing a b***h (the title role) in I, Tonya.
Hope they give Helga a redemption.
Can't we keep some women villains? Disney kind of redeemed the Queen of Hearts, Maleficent, and Cruella and I wouldn't be surprised if Melissa McCarthy as Ursula will get sympathy for other mermaids being fatphobic.

Why can’t you moronic Detroiters understand that there’s more people out there than your mutt asses and pale WASPs?
Lack of ideas. Recycle old ones. It also means they have a guaranteed group of people interested in it, the fans of the old thing. Same with adaptations. There's less risk than a new concept.
Personally I’d prefer a black cauldron adaptation, that’s literally the one live action remake I’m still waiting for and the ONLY one I’m waiting for, everything else can beat it
That was a mistake, they should reopen it and make a satisfying product that will be enjoyed for decades rather than CGI shit and flash animated lesbian shows
Disney is a business, not a charity.
They closed down that studio because their hand drawn animation wasn't making a profit compared to what Pixar was raking in with 'CGI shit' that audiences enjoyed like Incredibles, Ratatouille, Monsters Inc, Cars etc etc
>another animated version but everyone is a Black person?
They went the opposite direction when they make the second live action Cinderella, so maybe we'll get white Tiana!
I don't really have a problem with the race swaps tbh, but it goes irk me when they say it's such a brave and powerful statement to race swap characters and then cry racism if they adapt a white person into a role that was originally held by a minority. They want to have their cake and eat it too.

The demographics of Hollywood have changed. Most 20th century characters are white, more white than today. To reflect an updated world, more roles are casted with non-white people.
There are already much fewer roles that belong to Black/brown/Asian people by default, so they don't want those roles lost.
Ideally, we'd live in a world where all roles are colorblind.
Atlantis cast is already pretty diverse with Joshua Sweet and Audrey plus all the Atlanteans. It's cool if Kida is a Black lady.
They'll just cut that part out like what they did with the crows for Dumbo. At least I assume they did, I stopped midway through that one because it was so painfully dull to watch.
>They're running out of movies to remake.
Emperor's New Groove is literally on the list. I'm not saying this is a good idea (in fact, it's a terrible idea), but shit they could remake this.
Man I cant wait for this to flop horribly. Alantis is gonna need some serious special effects to even work and I have no doubt in my mind they will use cheap cgi for everything just like in the new pinnichio film. It's gonna blow balls and the only way to feel any hype about it is to just go in expecting a new disaster piece.
Its hard to put my distain for these live action remakes into words.
I wish people would realize how fricked up it is that the only reason these IPs are being brought back is the fact that by raping the like this companies attract morons who will watch anything with a familiar brand attached to it.
>murder your fodder crew >attempt to murder and take over atlantian gold by force >get change of heart just because >die rich anyway despite your crimes
Hm, and aside from that ending, most of the story beats have already been claimed by the far-more-popular James Cameron's Avatar, even if it's newer than Atlantis... and Dune too, to some extent.
Wow, forgot about that one, thanks.
But I think I'll stand by my point: since Avatar is more popular, people will naturally associate it with that kind of plot, instead of prior art.
>torn between thinking Tom Holland is too boyish looking for the role and wanting him to appear in it because he still looks like a young twink
I want to frick him so hard. Can't believe he's only a month younger.
It also means he's forever stuck playing 16 - 22 year olds until he's like late 30s and then he's too old looking to play them but still boyish looking is so typecast people won't consider him for 25+ roles.
This is legitimately one of the most moronic ideas I’ve ever heard. And it’s on top of the MCU being a bloated dying mess, normies realizing disneys live action remakes are shit, the parks stagnating/getting more expensive/IPified/worse, the muppets being dead and Star Wars being dead. What’s Disney’s long term plan here?
But what are they doing with 20th Century Fox properties aside from The Simpsons, Alien, Predator, and so on (aside from the obvious name change that occurred over two years ago)?
>Mercenary? I’d prefer the term “adventure capitalist.” >If you gave back every stolen thing in a museum, you’d be left with an empty building!
how will they handle this character? he’s already pretty evil by modern Hollywood standards, will they make him a racist and homophobe too?
What, will they cast Zendaya as Kida, too?
If they do a live action Atlantis, I 100% expect them to frick up Kida & Audrey.
Doja cat should play kida

This post was made so
could be reposted
It's been like once a day almost all week.
Lower end prostitute-tier at best
At least Kida's canonically a bit brown-skinned.
Hopefully they cast a knockout for Helga. She is supposed to be pure sex.
Rumor is that Christina Hendricks is being looked at for Helga
blergh. Scarjo.
Christina Hendricks is totally fake. Fake hair, fake breasts.
Disney/Chapek burned that bridge. My suggestion is Charlize Theron. They can even market how she's African-America too.
theron's too old. Robbie?
Easily a contender. She did a great job playing a b***h (the title role) in I, Tonya.

The hair may be fake but the breasts aren't anon.
Oh, they are. If you've seen photos of her younger than 20, she's got cone boobs.
>Oh, they are. If you've seen photos of her younger than 20, she's got cone boobs.
>younger than 20
As if people can't gain weight and generally mature as they age. Listen to yourself, anon.
>a bit brown-skinned
>a bit
She's straight up black dude.
>ancient Mediterraneans

>Caucasian features
>”black”
Why can’t you moronic Detroiters understand that there’s more people out there than your mutt asses and pale WASPs?
She's basically what Tulsa Doom is in Conan 82.
I meant black solely about the skin color.
Kida has those full lips, I wouldn't say she has Euro/Caucasian features.
North African and/or Asian (but not East Asian), I think. I knew a Sri Lankan lady who kinda looks like her.
They will probably cast the chick that played America Chavez as Audrey.
They'll cast ugly sheboons as all the Atlanteans to try and capitalize on the Wakanda/WeWuz-bux
He's racist
based truth quads
strong enough to make anything retroactively true
Noone gives a frick about Atlantis. Why not just make a new film with him instead?
EVERYTHING will have a remake.
Frick you, Atlantis is a fricking classic. That said, I desperately it spared from the live-action treatment.
Lack of ideas. Recycle old ones. It also means they have a guaranteed group of people interested in it, the fans of the old thing. Same with adaptations. There's less risk than a new concept.
a live action remake is the only chance we have of disney ever acknowledging atlantis again. take it or leave is.
>injun Atlanteans
>now black Atlanteans
Jesus Christ, why can't they just go cast some Meds from all over the region?
Hell, even Northern Africans would work, geologically.
Not everyone from Africa is sub-Saharan, Hollywood
>expecting ~~*Hollywood*~~ to accurately portray their ancient enemies
Lol. Lmao.
geologically?
What's the point if they have Avatar now?
>Disney
>Giving a frick about Atlantis all of the sudden
I will believe a reboot is happening when cameras are rolling and we've seen set pics.
Is Tom Holland also into the fantastic world of gay sex?
You know all the gays wish this. Obviously he isnt
Hopefully they make her sexy af and not some lame character to appease the "muh inclusive" crowd
They'll put her in a burka
>Hopefully they make her sexy af
Lmao, you know the won't.
It's a Disney movie, do you really expect them to go full coomer?
Man, I would kill for a live-action Atlantis, but all the effects done with Ray Harryhausen style stop-motion.
Personally I’d prefer a black cauldron adaptation, that’s literally the one live action remake I’m still waiting for and the ONLY one I’m waiting for, everything else can beat it
Why don't they just bring back the traditional animation style? It looks better
>Why don't they just bring back the traditional animation style?
Because they closed down the studio a decade ago. God, people in hell want ice water
That was a mistake, they should reopen it and make a satisfying product that will be enjoyed for decades rather than CGI shit and flash animated lesbian shows
Disney is a business, not a charity.
They closed down that studio because their hand drawn animation wasn't making a profit compared to what Pixar was raking in with 'CGI shit' that audiences enjoyed like Incredibles, Ratatouille, Monsters Inc, Cars etc etc
Surprised they're doing an Atlantis remake since it wasn't that successful and isn't really considered iconic.
Pete's Dragon is even more niche, and yet they pumped out a soulless remake of that
They're running out of movies to remake.
>They're running out of movies to remake.
what is the next step once they get to Ralph 2?
another animated version but everyone is a Black person?
>another animated version but everyone is a Black person?
They went the opposite direction when they make the second live action Cinderella, so maybe we'll get white Tiana!
kek it would be lovely. But i dunno, with all of the Black person kids crying cause they look like the little Black person mermaid

I want them to do Aristocats but I know they won't because of the Chinese cat
They'll just cut that part out like what they did with the crows for Dumbo. At least I assume they did, I stopped midway through that one because it was so painfully dull to watch.
>They're running out of movies to remake.
Emperor's New Groove is literally on the list. I'm not saying this is a good idea (in fact, it's a terrible idea), but shit they could remake this.
It's got quite a cult following
Man I cant wait for this to flop horribly. Alantis is gonna need some serious special effects to even work and I have no doubt in my mind they will use cheap cgi for everything just like in the new pinnichio film. It's gonna blow balls and the only way to feel any hype about it is to just go in expecting a new disaster piece.
Hope they give Helga a redemption.
>Year old article parroting a Twitter-pushed fancast of the time
Wow, it's fricking nothing.
I know he's like 25, but he just feels so young
>Spider-Man
>Uncharted
>Atlantis
Why they always pairing this guy with brown girls?
Go white boy go!
He cute
Black girls are my jam, I don't know what you're talking about
I guess it's also a thing with young black women simping for Tom Holland, and it makes a lotta money, so it's a win win for them
They're trying to undo Toby MacGuire's influence and make him not racist
is disney even peripherally aware of how shit and uncreative they are?
Maybe it'll end live action remakes at Disney like the movie did with traditional animation.
I hope they don't destroy the submarine in the first five minutes of the mission.
Its hard to put my distain for these live action remakes into words.
I wish people would realize how fricked up it is that the only reason these IPs are being brought back is the fact that by raping the like this companies attract morons who will watch anything with a familiar brand attached to it.

are you forgetting someone, gaijin?
if I remember correctly a literal child and a grown ass man end up marrying in the epilogue and waiting for a child as soon as she hits 17, right?
Wow, forgot about that one, thanks.
But I think I'll stand by my point: since Avatar is more popular, people will naturally associate it with that kind of plot, instead of prior art.
>Atlantis Live-Action Remake
BASED
>starring Tom Holland
Sigh.
>torn between thinking Tom Holland is too boyish looking for the role and wanting him to appear in it because he still looks like a young twink
I want to frick him so hard. Can't believe he's only a month younger.
Rumor has it he's bi. If you're good looking enough he might be down for a three way.
I've had girls and even a few guys crush on me before, but scoring Tom would be like winning the lottery
It also means he's forever stuck playing 16 - 22 year olds until he's like late 30s and then he's too old looking to play them but still boyish looking is so typecast people won't consider him for 25+ roles.
Was really hoping they wouldn't hire some pasty white kid.
Isn't Atlantis just Stargate with a submarine?
Both based on same source material, Chariot of the Gods.
What, James Spader wasn't available?
he's old
I'm so fricking tired of this dude always playing the same role over and over
why are they rushing these things? there's something to be said in taking your time so they don't turn out as complete shite
It should be Cole Sprouse. They overused Tom Holland big time. Not just Disney but Hollywood in general.
they grow up so fast
C'mon guys don't tell me he doesn't look like a lesbian.
