Sofia Coppola to direct live-action "Little Mermaid"
Director Sofia Coppola will make a live-action adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale, "The Little Mermaid." The well-known story is most commonly associated with Disney's 1989 animated musical adaptation. Coppola's version, however, will be darker and more-grown up, very possibly closer to the tone in Andersen's original tale in which the mermaid's bargain to live on land risks her dying brokenhearted and dissolving into sea foam if her prince marries another.
"Edward Scissorhands" writer Caroline Thompson is rewriting the script for the new fantasy film; previous drafts were penned by Kelly Marcel from "Fifty Shades of Grey" and Abi Morgan from "Shame."
This new take on "The Little Mermaid" will join the list of new live-action films approaching fairy tales popularized by Disney animated movies from more mature angles. Disney's "Maleficent," an inversion of "Sleeping Beauty," will open in US theaters on May 30th while version of "The Jungle Book" and "Peter Pan" are in the works.
