Film ► Sword in the Stone - another live action film to fill the Tron 3-shaped void in your heart

Why are you posting Winnie the Pooh? It's already happening.

That's right. It's diddly happening. So get your jars filled with honey.

So, any predictions for the next live action announcement. This train ain't stopping just yet

I'll guess it's either The Hunchback of Notre Dame or Hercules.

Treasure Planet would be really amazing in Live Action.

I would actually watch that hell out of that if done right. That and Atlantis

Yessssss Those are the two ones I'd kill to see happen.

A Toontown movie? (Based on the game, not Who Framed Roger Rabbit.)

I thought I've heard there will also be a live action Aladdin movie which sort of acts like a prequel nobody asked for.

Are these movies really that cheap that Disney can churn out them so shortly one after another?

Yup

It is more that Disney thinks they will earn a profit off of stories that people already have a vested interest in, not considering that people may not want these films.

Well, if they've been making a profit, then somebody must want them? I believe the only films they've greenlit so far that I'm giving side-eye to are the Prince Charming film and Genies, but even the latter couldn't be worse than Maleficent was (and would lead into Aladdin, which I'd definitely see).

I don't think the general audience was rooting for the film based on Prince Charming's brother or live action Winnie the Pooh. Thinking something will be potentially profitable and the general audiences actually wanting that film are not exclusively the same as we know all too well with box office misses like Tomorrowland, John Carter, the Lone Ranger, and and so forth.

Honestly, this has to be the Disney live action film I am the most not excited for and low key upset about. I love The Sword in the Stone, but honestly I 100% can see this remake going the route of The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Besides, there's already like multitudes of live action Arthurian stories I've seen and loved that I just really doubt this one will do anything to really set it apart, especially since Disney isn't really known for doing huge game-changing adaptations.

Brian Cogman, a writer-producer on HBO’s fantasy Game of Thrones, has been tapped to pen the script for the project,

Yesssss. Super excited for this!!!!! I loved the Sword in the Stone as a kid, and mostly credit it with sparking my lifelong love for any story related to Arthurian legend.

Tbh, the WtP live-action won't do any worse than most WtP films do, and WtP is a popular property for Disney, so... I don't think any of these will end up like the original films you listed. If anything, it's those original flops that led them to make more and more safe re-make/sequel decisions. Plus, something like the Prince Charming film, even if it does badly, won't cost anywhere near as much to make as those films and Tron did, so there's that.
