Dal sito The Wrap:

Alan Silvestri vorrebbe firmare la colonna sonora del film:

Q: On the subject of live-action remakes, they are working on “Lilo & Stitch.” Alan, are you involved? Are you coming back? What’s the story there?

Alan Silvestri: I’ve not heard anything other than that it’s being done. That doesn’t mean I’m not coming back because that conversation could be much further down some line. But I have no news fit to print at this time.

Q: Is that something you’d like to revisit?

Alan Silvestri: Oh, sure. Absolutely. It was amazing to be involved in it, and one of the things that’s been most fun over the years is I have three young granddaughters now. I’ve seen that movie over time continue to delight young viewers. And those kinds of films are always tremendous to work on. When a six-year-old’s favorite film is something you did that far back, it’s just amazing to be part of things like that.

Live-Action ‘Lilo & Stitch’ to Begin Filming February 2023

Disney’s live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch has been in development for a few years now. The COVID-19 pandemic sadly set the project back, but now there is finally an update.

According to Discussing Film’s Jacob Fisher, Lilo & Stitch is set to begin next February in Hawaii. The insider also added that casting on the project is currently ongoing, so expect to hear additional updates on the project soon.

Back in August, just before Disney’s D23 Expo, we heard that Disney still plans to release the film as a Disney+ Original Movie, something we originally reported on back in 2020. Fisher has also backed our reporting.

The remake is said to follow the same story as the animated film that followed a young girl’s close encounter with the galaxy’s most wanted extraterrestrial. Lilo is a lonely Hawaiian girl who adopts a small ugly “dog,” whom she names Stitch. Stitch would be the perfect pet if he weren’t, in reality, a genetic experiment who has escaped from an alien planet and crash-landed on Earth. Through her love, faith, and unwavering belief in ohana, the Hawaiian concept of family, Lilo helps unlock Stitch’s heart and gives him the ability to care for someone else.

Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell With Shoes On) is set to direct with Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich of Rideback producing. Studio execs Zoe Kent (Sade) and Louie Provost (Togo) will oversee the production.

EXCLUSIVE: Live-Action ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Replacing an Iconic Character from the Animated Original

Disney is all about live-action remakes these days and they’ve eyed pretty much any of their iconic animated films to get the treatment. Among them is the iconic Lilo and Stitch, which is set to be directed by Dean Fleischer-Camp based on a script from Chris Kekianiokalani Bright, which once again explores the story of a young girl named Lilo who ends up with a rather different kind of pet who she names Stitch. While the film will follow the story of the original, we can exclusively share a few details of two original characters being added to the story.

The film is currently busy casting for the roles of Lilo, Nani, and David Kawena from the original animated film. There’s no word if they are actively looking for a voice actor for Stitch, or perhaps they might even see Chris Sanders return to the role. Yet, they are also actively casting two new roles for the film which are a character known as Tutu and Mrs. Kekoa. The former is described as someone who speaks with a local Pidgin accent and is the neighbor of the Pelekai sisters, Lilo and Nani.

The surprising new addition is Mrs. Kekoa, as she seemingly will take on the role of Cobra Bubbles. It’s unclear if that character will still be featured in the film, but it seems that this new character is being cast as the social worker, who pays Nani a few visits to see if their living conditions are right for her to continue looking after Lilo. The addition of an alien pretending to be a dog won’t help matters much. Her inclusion does raise the question if Bubbles will be featured in the film at all, but it is possible they may be taking a different route.

There have been a few rumblings hinting at Disney hoping to start production on it soon. DisInsider shared back in August that the film might be set as a Disney+ exclusive. This was highlighted by Discussing Film’s Jacob Fischer, who also hinted at a production start in February, which we can also confirm. They will be filming until the end of May 2023 in Hawaii, which will definitely make the project stand out and sticks to the aspects that made the original shine.

Disney’s ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Live-Action Movie Lead Character Breakdowns Go Out (EXCLUSIVE)

Today, we at Knight Edge Media learned that a casting call has gone out for the leads in the upcoming live-action Lilo & Stitch feature film by Walt Disney. Originally, Jon. M Chu was attached to helm the film but director Dean Fleischer-Camp took over in July. Now the casting call is for the lead roles of Lilo, Nani, and David. Also casting call went out for their neighbor Tutu and the social worker Mrs. Kekoa (as opposed to Mr. Bubbles in the original film).

[LILO PELEKAI]
6-8 years old. A young, precocious Native Hawaiian girl who loves hula, surfing, and wildlife, with a special affinity for all things “gross.” She has a propulsive imagination and a colorful rebellious streak that often lands her in hot water. Needless to say, she doesn’t fit in. Her classmates consider her a “weirdie,” and aside from her homemade ragdoll Scrump, she has few friends. To complicate matters, her parents’ death a few years back has left her and her older sister Nani all alone and warped by grief, though you wouldn’t know it from Lilo’s relentless, fun loving optimism. When a social worker recommends that Nani and Lilo adopt a dog as a companion for her, Lilo is stoked! But this new addition to the family proves to be more than they bargained for: Unruly, impulsive, and freakishly strong; he’s a furry, ugly-cute wrecking ball seemingly bent on destroying everything in his path. To Nani, this “dog” is a total nightmare. But to Lilo, she’s just found her new best friend!…LEAD (1) We encourage submissions of diverse actors, including actors who are of Native Hawaiian/Polynesian/Maori descent.

[NANI PELEKAI]
18, intelligent, overachieving, athletic, Type A, Native Hawaiian. Lilo’s harried but well- intentioned older sister, whose role as Lilo’s sole caretaker and legal guardian has recently transformed her from a straight-A student with unbeatable extracurriculars and a bright future (with a Fulbright Scholarship to boot!) into a smiling pressure cooker who might just blow at any minute. She’s doing her level best to muscle through an impossible situation, but lately her level best just hasn’t been enough. Caring for Lilo while keeping up her grades and holding down a steady job ain’t easy, and her shortcomings have recently drawn unwanted attention from Child Protective Services, who threaten to separate the sisters if they can’t reform. Undeterred, Nani is committed to keeping Lilo out of foster care by maintaining a stable living situation. But the bills are piling up, Nani’s slipping at school and at work, and their Social Services case worker, Mrs. Kekoa, is beginning to lose patience…LEAD (2) We encourage submissions of diverse actors, including actors who are of Native Hawaiian/Polynesian/Maori descent.

[TUTU]
70s, Native Hawaiian, she is a warm, quick-witted woman who speaks with a local Pidgin accent. Lilo and Nani’s neighbor, she has known the Pelekai family for years. She’s also kind and hospitable, and understanding of Lilo and Nani’s struggles …LEAD (15) We encourage submissions of diverse actors, including actors who are of Native Hawaiian/Polynesian/Maori descent.

[MRS. KEKOA]
55, AANHPI, she is a social worker, a practical, by-the-book kind and patient woman who checks in regularly with Nani, whom she can tell is struggling to keep her head above water while taking care of her younger sister. However, she can’t help but be alarmed by what she finds at the house, unnerved to think that young Lilo is not receiving the supervision she needs. Later, Mrs. Kekoa has no choice but to look for a satisfactory foster family…LEAD (7)

[DAVID KAWENA]
18, Native Hawaiian, handsome in a boy-next-door way, he is Tutu’s grandson who’s clearly sweet on Nani. A decent, good-hearted young man, he is a student at the local community college and also works with Nani at the hotel where he performs the Fire Knife Dance for the tourists. An avid surfer, he can see that Nani has been tense of late and knows nothing can cure a sour disposition better than a “couple of boards and some choice waves.”…LEAD (2) We encourage submissions of diverse actors, including actors who are of Native Hawaiian/Polynesian/Maori descent.

Production is expected to begin in February 2023 and run through May 2023 in Hawaii. Rideback Ranch producers Dan Lin & Ryan Halprin (Avatar: The Last Airbender, The LEGO Movie) are attached to produce the live-action film with Jonathan Eirich. Many fans have long fancast Hawaiian native actress Auli’i Cravalho (Moana) in the role of Nani.

Storyline: NANI, left to care for her young sister, LILO, following the tragic loss of their parents, is finding it increasingly difficult to keep her head above water, while also working and going to school part-time. When the social worker suggests giving Lilo more responsibilities, Nani decides adopting a dog might be a good idea, but is in for a heck of surprise when Lilo insists on taking home a rambunctious, out-of- control and undisciplined "dog" that she dubs, "STITCH." However, Stitch, it turns out, is an escaped alien experiment from a distant planet, being stalked at every turn by agents looking to capture and extinguish him. However, the seemingly irredeemable Stitch is happy to discover that being loved and being part of a family are the most important things in the world -- or, more accurately, the universe...

Zach Galifianakis to Star in ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Live-Action Movie (Exclusive)

Dean Fleischer Camp, the filmmaker behind indie darling and best animated Oscar nominee 'Marcel the Shell With Shoes On,' is directing the Disney+ feature.

Zach Galifianakis has closed a deal to star in Lilo & Stitch, Disney’s live-action remake of its cult 2002 animated movie.

Dean Fleischer Camp, the filmmaker behind indie darling and best animated Oscar nominee Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, is directing the feature that is intended to be a major release on Disney+.

The Hawaii-centric story told of the bond formed between a lonely human girl named Lilo and a dog-like alien named Stitch, who was genetically engineered to be a force of destruction. With nosy social workers and pursuing aliens banging on the door, the two bonded over a shared sense of family and win the day.

Details of Galifianakis’ role are being kept in the dog pound.

The studio is conducting a wide search for the actors to play Lilo and her older sister. Stitch, naturally, will be a CG confection.

Chris Kekaniokalani Bright wrote the script for the adaptation. Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois wrote and directed the original feature that, while not an initial hit, developed a loyal fanbase that only grew in the ensuing years.

Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich of Rideback are producing. Rideback’s Ryan Halprin is executive producing.

The deal marks a return to studio moviemaking for Galifianakis for the first time since 2018’s A Wrinkle in Time, also a Disney movie. The actor and comedian was a fixture on the big-screen for many years thanks to The Hangover movies and films such as Due Date. Since the late 2010s, however, Galifianakis has focused on television work, co-creating and starring in Baskets for FX, and doing plenty of voicework as well.

The comedian is slowly coming out of his shell and has two movies in the can. He is starring with Elizabeth Banks in The Beanie Bubble, centered on the 1990s toy craze, which will stream on Apple, and will appear in Winner, Susanna Fogel’s drama on whistleblower Reality Winner.

Galifianakis, who gained a massive following for his online talk show Between Two Ferns, is repped by UTA, Brillstein Entertainment Partners, and Yorn Levine.




Da Variety:

Zach Galifianakis Joins Disney’s Live-Action ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Movie

The cast of Disney’s live-action “Lilo & Stitch” movie is beginning to shape up, with the addition of Zach Galifianakis.

The new film is set to be directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, from a script by Chris Kekaniokalani Bright adapting the 2002 animated feature. Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois wrote and directed that film

Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich of Rideback are producing the new project, which is set to launch on Disney+, with Rideback’s Ryan Halprin executive producing.

The Hollywood Reporter was first to announce Galifianakis has joined the film.

More to come…

Zach Galifianakis Joins Disney+ ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Live-Action Remake

Funny man Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover trilogy) has joined the long in development Disney+ remake of Lilo & Stitch, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The original animated feature was released in 2002 and was an absolute hit, and director Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On) will be bringing this heartwarming story to live action. Following films like Pinocchio and Lady and the Tramp, Lilo & Stitch will be a Disney+ original film, something we exclusively reported on back in 2020.

Like the animated original, the remake follows Nani, who is left to care for her young sister, Lilo, following the tragic loss of their parents, is finding it increasingly difficult to keep her head above water, while also working and going to school part-time. When the social worker suggests giving Lilo more responsibilities, Nani decides adopting a dog might be a good idea, but is in for a heck of a surprise when Lilo insists on taking home a rambunctious, out-of-control and undisciplined “dog” that she dubs, “STITCH.” However, Stitch, it turns out, is an escaped alien experiment from a distant planet, being stalked at every turn by agents looking to capture and extinguish him. However, the seemingly irredeemable Stitch is happy to discover that being loved and being part of a family are the most important things in the world — or, more accurately, the universe.

According to our sources, Galifianakis will play Pleakley, an extraterrestrial character, and a self-proclaimed expert on planet earth, who reluctantly becomes Dr. Jumba Jookiba’s partner when forced to assist him in capturing the escaped Experiment 626 [Stitch], and later becomes his best friend and roommate when the two are marooned on Earth.

Attached to produce are Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich of Rideback, who are coming off 2019’s billion-dollar hit remake of Aladdin and are also producing the Disney+ Inspector Gadget film, as well as the Haunted Mansion reboot. Studio execs Zoe Kent (Sade) and Louie Provost (Togo) will oversee the production.

Filming is expected to begin in Hawaii on March 13 and will shoot through June. A release date has yet to be announced by the streamer.

Reel News Hawaii @reelnewshawaii:

Looks like they are still searching for their “Lilo” and some other key characters. No mention of Nani and David so they’re probably cast. “BAD DOG” is on everything so we’re assuming this is the working title. Hearing the March 13th start may be pushed back 2 wks.


Traduzione: sono in corso i casting per Lilo e altri personaggi principali. Nani e David probabilmente sono già stati trovati.
Il titolo di lavorazione del film è Bad Dog.
Le riprese dovrebbero iniziare il 13 marzo ma potrebbero essere ritardate di due settimane.

Non è stata ancora trovata Lilo... e le riprese inizieranno a giorni...

[theprinceisonfir...]

Ma scusate, se quest'altra ciofeca è prevista sin in partenza come prodotto disney+, perché il thread si colloca qui?
Comunque stanno alla canna del gas, probabilmente non riescono a trovare un'attrice bambina hawaiana credibile perché ormai alle hawaii il 90 per cento delle bambine è bianca o mista caucasica, mentre loro vorranno sicuramente scegliere per Lilo la giovane attrice più etnica possibile.

Messaggio modificato da theprinceisonfire il 2/3/2023, 12:07

[Hiroe]

L'ho pensata anche io, o forse, sarò cattiva, non riescono a trovarla carina?

[Daydreamer]

Ma scusate, se quest'altra ciofeca è prevista sin in partenza come prodotto disney+, perché il thread si colloca qui?

sì prince, finora è mancata l'ufficialità della distribuzione sulla piattaforma, ma quest'annuncio sembra ora chiarirlo. Sposto il topic nella sezione tv e streaming.

EDIT: consultando un pò meglio le fonti, tutte parlano di "iniziale distribuzione su Disney+". Non è detto che il film abbia poi anche una piccola distribuzione cinematografica. Seguiremo. Intanto lasciamolo qui.

[nicolino]

Lilo è tra i personaggi femminili più brutti (oltre che insopportabili) mai disegnati e concepiti. A questo film non riesco proprio a trovare un senso (non che tanti altri ce lo abbiano, sia chiaro)...

[Mr. Hook]

Se non trovano una bambina con la tonalità di pelle che più gli aggrada per interpretare Lilo, beh, alla peggio possono sempre scegliere una bianca e scurirgli la pelle al computer.

[Daydreamer]

Non lo faranno mai, ma non vedo neppure improbabile scegliere una ragazzina polinesiana per farle fare una hawaiana. Un po’ come fecero scegliendo attrici cinesi per interpretare giapponesi in Memorie di una Geisha. Credo che i tratti si somiglino abbastanza.

[veu]

Alessio, non possono confondere oggi i tratti somatici di una hawaiana con una orientale... così come oggi sarebbe impensabile far interpretare ad una giapponese il ruolo di una cinese (perché i tratti sono completamente diversi, se guardate gli occhi dei cinesi sono allungati verso l'esterno quelli dei giapponesi sono maggiormente grandi e allungati verso il basso per capirci, inoltre i capelli sono diversi e i tratti del volto pure... così come sono diversi i vietnamiti ecc) nè possono usare il color washing suggerito da Mr Hook , altrimenti oggi si beccano una denuncia e una battaglia legale che dura decenni...
pensiamo che la produzione cerchi personaggi maggiormente calzanti, è la stessa produzione che cercò Aladdin e Jasmine al tempo e ricordiamo che la ricerca comportò un ritardo nel casting e nell'inizio riprese... qui più o meno è così
vorranno la Lilo giusta...

[Mr. Hook]

Io comunque ero ironico.

[Fulvio84]

Io comunque ero ironico.

Per me era ovvio ahahahahah

appunto, e alla fine non hanno scelto attori mediorientali, ma una britannica di origini indiane e un canadese con sangue egiziano.
Per quello che non mi sembra la fine del mondo e improbabile che non trovino un'hawaiana; come minimo anche Nani e David non saranno totalmente hawaiani.

[Hiroe]

Anche perché gli hawaiani non sono tantissimi, sono piccole isole, non c'è una scelta infinita..
