Dwayne Johnson announces a live action remake of Moana just seven years after its animated release.
In the video, posted on Monday evening, Johnson went on explain how "the spirit of my late grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia" had "inspired" him to bring the part to life.
Just seven years on from its release, the latest reboot plan has left some fans on social media suggesting Disney are "moving a little fast".Since the 2010s, you'll have noticed Disney has remade a raft of box office-smashing, old school animated classics, using real life actors. Now though, with the likes of Moana and Lilo & Stitch, we are starting to see the same model being applied to more recent favourites, according to film critic Helen O'Hara.
O'Hara believes that most live action remakes don't really need to exist but says some of the better ones down the years, such as Cinderella, the Jungle Book and Dumbo, have genuinely added something to the original movies. "They don't get a slice of what the studio does, for the most part. So they want to make a great live action Moana or a great live action Lion King, or whatever it is.
