The Hollywood Reporter reports that it has been revealed that the Disney animation “Lilo & Stitch” is being prepared as a live-action movie for Disney +.
“Lilo & Stitch” is a sci-fi action comedy set in Hawaii that revolves around the friendship between Lilo, a lonely girl who lives with her sister, and her dog-shaped alien, Stitch. It was released in theaters in 2002, and since then, the TV series “Lilo & Stitch The Series” and the sequel movie “Lilo & Stitch 2” have been produced.
The live-action movie version of “Lilo & Stitch” for Disney + will be directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, who draws attention to the independent film “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.” “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On” is a story about a snail adventuring in human society, and A24 has acquired the distribution right. Despite being screened in only 48 theaters in the United States, box office revenue is already approaching $ 1 million.
The live-action version of “Lilo & Stitch” will combine live-action and CG, similar to “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.”
