[veu]

Pare che la Disney stia lavorando alla trasposizione live-action di Atlantis L'Impero Perduto.

Al momento la notizia è da prendere con le pinze.

Pare che per il ruolo di Mylo voglia Tom Holland.

Da We Got This Covered:

Tom Holland Being Eyed For Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire Remake

Disney’s lucrative – if controversial – trend for remaking their animated classics in live-action is not about to stop anytime soon. We’ve already brought you word that Hercules, Hunchback of Notre Dame and Pocahontas reboots are in the works at the House of Mouse, and now we’ve heard that another one has been added to the pile. This remake is slightly more surprising compared to the rest, however, and according to our intel, it already comes with a possible star attached.

We Got This Covered has been informed that Disney is working on a remake of Atlantis: The Lost Empire with Spider-Man actor Tom Holland being eyed as the lead. The original was released in 2001 and, though it’s fondly remembered by those who enjoyed it as kids, it’s fair to say that it’s not considered one of the studio’s finest animated efforts. It was also something of a box office flop at the time.

However, this might be an occasion when a live-action remake is completely warranted. Maybe with a bankable star like Holland attached and a story that should have widespread appeal, cinemagoers will flock to see this mythical action/adventure movie on the big screen. In fact, due to its relative lack of familiarity with audiences, Disney might be free to create something more distinct from the original than with other remakes.

That said, the intention is presumably to stick fairly close to the animated film as we’ve been told that Holland is being eyed to play Milo Thatch in the movie. A geeky Smithsonian cartographer who’s whisked off on an expedition to Atlantis, the character was voiced by Michael J. Fox in the animation. Thanks to the awkward charm he brings to his portrayal of Peter Parker, it’s easy to see how Holland could be an exciting choice for the role and as soon as we hear more about Disney’s plans for Atlantis: The Lost Empire, we’ll be sure to let you know.

* Al momento si pensa ad una produzione cinematografica, poi tutto potrebbe ancora cambiare.

Disney in Early Development on a Live-Action ‘Atlantis: The Lost Empire’ Remake

Disney is continuing to develop live-action remakes of their animated films, and now, according to The Illuminerdi, Atlantis: The Lost Empire has entered development at the studio.

What I have personally heard on this project is that it has only been on the studios’ radar for the last couple of months, the project doesn’t have any writers or a director attached at this time, but the studio is looking to get a shortlist of names ready very soon. Any actors you see floating around the internet and social media should be ignored as casting isn’t close to being started at this time. The film is being eyed for a theatrical release, though it is early and things can change.

Disney has a ton of live-action remakes in various stages of development including, The Little Mermaid, Peter Pan and Wendy, Lilo & Stitch, Hercules, Bambi, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. So adding Atlantis to their growing slate seemed inevitable.

The live-action remakes have been box office juggernauts for the studio grossing over a combined $5.4 billion worldwide.

Released in 2001, Atlantis: The Lost Empire follows an inexperienced young adventurer becomes the key to unraveling an ancient mystery when he joins up with a group of daredevil explorers to find the legendary lost empire of Atlantis. A naive-but-determined museum cartographer Milo Thatch dreams of completing the quest begun by his late grandfather, a famous explorer. When a journal surfaces, an eccentric billionaire funds an expedition, and the action shifts to high gear.

The film was directed Beauty and the Beast (1991) directing duo Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise and featured a stacked voice cast that includes Michael J. Fox, Leonard Nimoy, Cree Summer, James Garner, Jim Varney, and Jim Cummings. The film wasn’t a box office smash as it grossed $186 million worldwide on a $120 million production budget. The film did spawn a direct to DVD sequel in 2003 titled Milo’s Return.
