Dwayne Johnson to Produce Live-Action Remake of Disney's "Moana"
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson announced on April 3, during the Disney shareholders meeting, that a live-action remake of the 2016 animated hit "Moana" is in the works. The film, which made over $680 million at the box office, will be produced by Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia through their Seven Bucks Productions, as well as Beau Flynn via Flynn Picture Co. Executive producers include Auli‘i Cravalho, the voice of Moana in the original film, and Scott Sheldon of Flynn Picture Co. Jared Bush and Samoan industry leader Dana Ledoux Miller will also take part in the production.
In a statement, Johnson expressed his deep gratitude and humility to bring the beloved story of "Moana" to the live-action big screen. "This story is my culture, and this story is emblematic of our people’s grace and warrior strength," he said. "I wear this culture proudly on my skin and in my soul, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reunite with Maui, inspired by the mana and spirit of my late grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia, is one that runs very deep for me."
Johnson also expressed his excitement to partner with Disney to tell the story through the realm of music and dance, which he believes is at the core of who the Polynesian people are.
He thanked his partners at Disney for their strong commitment to the special endeavor, stating that "there is no better world for us to honor the story of our people, our passion and our purpose than through the realm of music and dance."
The announcement was met with excitement from fans of the original film, as well as from those eager to see Johnson's take on the beloved character Maui. A pre-recorded segment of Johnson announcing the news was shown during the webcast of the shareholders meeting, and it has since been widely shared on social media.
The new live-action "Moana" is still in the early stages of development, with no release date or casting information announced as of yet. However, the announcement has generated a buzz among fans, who are eagerly anticipating updates and news about the film as it progresses.
