Time for yet another live-action Disney remake. Lilo and Stitch is following in the footsteps of Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, The Jungle Book and many more as Disney plans to make a live-action remake of the 2002 animated film. Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich, who are alsoworking on the live-action Aladdin remake, will produce. The Lilo and Stitch live-action remake is said to be a live-action/CG hybrid.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news about the Lilo and Stitch live-action remake, and it’s not clear where it’s headed – theaters or streaming. That’s a key distinction now, because Disney is working on two different kinds of live-action remakes: those destined for the big screen, like Dumbo, Aladdin and The Lion King, and those which will likely debut on their upcoming streaming service, like The Sword in the Stoneand Lady and the Tramp. THR simply says the film is “intended for theatrical release or for Disney’s streaming service that launches in 2019,” so things could go either way here.
