Sci-Fi Lilo & Stitch-The Live Action Remake

[Shinobi Shaw]

He's probably just gonna look like a blue koala with big kitten eyes.

Hopefully. Or he could end up looking like a fake ass Gremlin...

Let’s hope they learned from Sonic and avoid overly human teeth

‘Lilo & Stitch’ Live-Action Movie Adds Billy Magnussen – Deadline

 

[samsnee]

His second live action remake after Aladdin.

He and Alan Tudyk are basically Disney’s go to blonde guys.

Hopefully it’s something a lil deeper than just token dumb white guy lol

[AndrewGilkison]

That is about white.

 

[Marvel Unified]

Oh, that's not...

 

[Arachnerd]

Apparently she's of mixed race, but in this instance... I'm not seeing how she could be related to the girl playing Lilo (who has a darker skin tone by comparison) unless they retcon their parents to be interracial or something. Even then, it's like, they really couldn't manage to find a native Hawaiian to play Nani?

 

[Another_Fool]

I mean she's Hawaiian to be fair. And there can be a situation where both parents are Hawaiian but one is light skinned.

But . . . yeahh. I mean I can't really comment, I had a kid crush on Nani wayyy back so it's hard for me to be objective that they took away her dark skin.

That is about white.

Took the words out of my mouth. I'm looking at this casting like

They couldn't go for any indigenous actors? Hopefully they do right by Nani's boyfriend and they don't cast Zac Efron.

 

[Sithborg]

I mean, I found a trailer for one of her movies, and she didn't exactly look that white in that trailer.

 

[DarkKnight88]

I don’t think Disney cares if people look related or not.

I think she just nailed her audition. How awful would it be, “You’re perfect for this role, your audition was hands down better than anyone else who came in here. But you’re too light, sorry!”

That exact kind of thinking is why we're still fighting colorism in Hollywood to this day.

 

[Sithborg]

Honestly, I would wait to judge the casting till we see how a few weeks of Hawaiin sun does while filming.

 

[samsnee]

I really hope they give Jason Scott Lee a cameo of some sort

 

[Still Wynning]

I really hope they give Jason Scott Lee a cameo of some sort

He looks like a young, Hawaiian Bobby Cannavale.

 

[DarkKnight88]

I’m surprised they haven’t announced the most obvious cast member. Ving Rhames as himself.

What the…

He IS the character lol

 

[Arachnerd]

I'm guessing either Disney asked him and he turned it down, or they just didn't care enough to ask.

For real. I like Courtney B. Vance but Ving Rhames was RIGHT THERE.
