.... Yep. There's gonna be a live action adaptation apparently ... With Sofia Coppola directing!

No word yet on who's going to be the leading lady as Coppola is still in talks to seal the deal, but from what I've read, it'll likely be closer to the original Hans Christian Anderson version instead of the Disney fairytale.

I hope this happens. . I would love to see this version made into a movie.. Along with Cinderella and other Disney movies that originally had darker storylines..

Who do you think should be Ariel and Prince Eric!? & Ursula (Queen Latifa, I think, personally. I mean dat Annie Leibovitz photo was incredibly spot on) & the other characters!?
