During the Investor Day of last December 2020, in addition to announcing an avalanche of titles coming for the Star Wars, Marvel and Pixar franchises, Disney also officially unveiled what the future holds in terms of projects live-action inspired by his animated classics, announcing the development of three new remakes - Pinocchio, Peter Pan & Wendy e The little Mermaid - and a prequel de The Lion King. However, thanks to the always punctual Hollywood trade we know that the studio is not only working on these four products, but on many more: from the Hercules franchise anticipated by the Russo brothers to the sequels of Aladdin e The Jungle Book.
While cinemas around the world (or almost) and Disney + are preparing to welcome Cruella with Emma Stone from next May 28th, therefore, we have decided to collect all of them in this article the remakes and their respective sequels in progress at Walt Disney Studios. Before leaving, however, we specify that none of the films listed below have yet obtained an official release date.
The hunchback of Notre Dame
Almost two years after the House of Mouse hired David Henry Hwang to write the screenplay for the live-action The Hunchback of Notre Dame, last January one of the producers involved, Josh Gad, finally confirmed that the film is still in development e "it's getting closer and closer". Unfortunately at the moment we don't know much about the project, but according to the first reports it could be Gad himself who plays the role of the sweet bell ringer Quasimodo.
