Sofia Coppola directing live action The Little Mermaid adaptation
Sofia Coppola has been tapped to direct a live-action version of The Little Mermaid! Deadline reports that Coppola is in negotiations to direct the Hans Christian Anderson tale.
The movie will probably have a delightfully dark tone since the script is being written by Caroline Thompson, who wrote Edward Scissorhands and The Addams Family.
Since it’s live-action, it will be interesting to see how the under-water scenes will be handled.
