Disney's live-action "Mulan"

[Abudefduf]

Since they ditched Shang, any hope for Mushu outside of a cameo/easter egg is pretty much done.

Mushu was not bisexual.

This isn't exactly shaping up as a "live-action" version of the cartoon, it appears to be a straight retelling of the same story with little to no relation to the animated version other than sharing the same source material.

Maybe after the lazy and awful live action Beauty and the Beast,this is for the best.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Maybe this might be his first step towards eventually landing the role of Shang chi?

I'm holding out hope they will cast Billy Magnussen or Jim Sturgess.

 

[terry78]

I find their lack of Mushu disturbing.

Ha! Cheeky

Oh ew!

Still it would be funny if it turned out mulan was just the name they gave production and it was actually another movie entirely lol

Jason Scott Lee has been cast as the villain. Good for him. He was great in the Bruce Lee movie and deserves to be a bigger star. Plus he hasn’t aged one bit.

[Da-Scribe]

Damn! Jason Scott Lee AND Mark Dacascos getting high profile roles. I'm loving this 90s resurgence.

 

[terry78]

Good...good.

 

[Lencho01]

Nice.

 

[jed]

From their social media account, Instagram, it seems like Jason Scott Lee, Yoson An, Liu Yifei are already in New Zealand.....

So filming has begun??

First Look: PRODUCTION BEGINS ON DISNEY’S LIVE-ACTION MULAN.
Epic Tale of Legendary Chinese Warrior Comes to Life with Cast Including Liu Yifei, Donnie Yen, Jason Scott Lee with Gong Li and Jet Li Directed by Niki Caro

 

[terry78]

Yeah, they're going all Zhang Yimou.

 

[Broseph44]

She looks good

 

[Abudefduf]

She looks slightly more... androgynous than I was expecting her to, which is good.

Rosalind Chao (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), Cheng Pei-Pei (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and Nelson Lee have joined the cast of Disney’s Mulan, the latest live-action remake of the studio’s animated classics. Production is now underway on the Niki Caro-directed pic with locations in New Zealand and China.

So basically Mushu is out or if he does exist he's a non talking animal.

 

[Teelie]

I don't know why it took me until just now to realize this is the second big budget production of a mainly (entirely?) asian cast after Crazy Rich Asians.

Nice to see Rosalind Chao joining the cast. I always thought she was under utilized ever since TNG though she was more prominent in DS9 and she's clearly been working in shows all this time.

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

She looks really good.

 

[Legendver2]

Good seeing my bae again

 

[Lencho01]

So basically Mushu is out or if he does exist he's a non talking animal.

Maybe we'll see him on her clothing like how they're doing in Wreck It Ralph 2 (that we've seen so far).

 

[Pink Ranger]

I'm liking this movie more and more now. Love the first image I am seeing; it's not too princess-y, but is stylized enough to be marketable.

Nice to see Rosalind Chao joining the cast. I always thought she was under utilized ever since TNG though she was more prominent in DS9 and she's clearly been working in shows all this time.

Loved her as the weird-ass pastor on Apartment 23. A sadly underused actress who was largely a victim of times she was in.

 

[samsnee]

So is this part musical?

 

[DarkKnight88]

I don't really get the point of making a completely faithful Mulan story when there's already been so many (one just a decade ago). Isn't the point that this is going to be Disney's Mulan? Talking mini dragon and all? Fantasy is part of the fun of it.

Love it.
