Talking about bringing it back home, we cannot gloss over a thing that really connects you back to your culture and grandfather and singing, and that is Moana, the first installment of which came out in 2016 and the second in 2024, with a live-action version coming next year.
Playing Maui has been the gift of a lifetime. Growing up as a Samoan — half Samoan and half black — in Samoan culture, Polynesian culture? We’re proud people. Proud of our culture. And what Moana has represented is a really awesome global embrace of Polynesian culture, our values and our qualities and our pride and our mana. Today’s Tuesday. Just this past Friday, around 8:00 pm, we officially wrapped the live-action version of Moana, so we can’t wait. This upcoming summer, you guys will see live-action Moana , and it’s going to be pretty cool. I spent an entire week shooting “You’re Welcome,” and the singing and the choreography is crazy. [Students whoop with excitement, urging him to sing it.] No, no, no, you’re not ready for that. No, you’re not ready. [Johnson sings “You’re Welcome” and the students go wild.]
live action Moana remake
$$$
They can’t possibly make their money back with this
remaking a movie that came out like three years ago. really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
remaking a movie that came out like
threenine years agoIt felt like 3 to me
Dwayne’s done. It took 5-6 films to realize he can only do one character.
That wouldn’t even be a bad thing if he wasn’t so obsessed with his “brand” and if producers didnt ride his dick so hard (like he should never have been accepted as Black Adam by the movie’s makers.)
Their are plenty of actors who can only do ‘one character’ who are still delightful to watch because they tend to take roles where that character archetype works.
This might be the dumbest live-action remake yet.
I think they can’t go dumber than The Lion King. Which was still an animated movie, but worse.
Good point, we’re really spoiled for choice.
Waiting for Disney to come full circle and start making CG animated remakes of their live action movies.
@ChicoSuave @TheImpressiveX this Pixar movie is about animated characters in real life in animation in a simulation
Jesus Christ, Disney has lost its mojo. I was never really a fan of Disney growing up, I was more of a Ghibli kid, but damn. All they do now is recycle their old IP into half baked watered down souless versions of something that barely had soul to begin with. It’s getting embarrassing now. I know they’ve always been a soulless platitudes generator, but still. They had better hope that millennial nostalgia is enough to keep them running for the foreseeable future because all I see is pointless trash coming from Disney.
So you were not entertained by the Arielle live-action remake with underwater scenes that had such barebones lighting you barely could see anything on the screen? Or the Wish movie that just took out elements from a lot of their existing movies and slapped them together in a half-assed way?
…yeah, that’s understandable.
They released an original film last year, Elio, and it tanked.
I wonder who they will cast for the inevitable live action remake of The Hunchback Of Notre Dame.
Kim Kardashian compressed with AI so her butt protrudes from her back.
I’m for Jared Leto. With barely any prosthetics. To get ready for the role he’ll start talking to random statues.
A long path it is till the death of disney. But every dollar they go red is good
Isn’t he way too old to play live-action Maui?
I’m just sick of this guy. Another over-used actor but also a huge asshole.
And I confirm that I don’t give a shit!
