Disney Developing Live-Action 'Snow White' (Exclusive)

It was confirmed that Disney studio is developing a live-action version of Snow White. "Beauty And The Beast," "Mulan," "The Lion King," "Dumbo" and "Aladdin" are now in various stages of production.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney has brought Erin Cressida Wilson, who most recently adapted "The Girl On The Train" for the big-screen, and is tasked to pen "Snow White." Wilson is expected to portray a more child-friendly cinematic territory.

As mostly the same with Disney's plan with "Mary Poppins Returns", "Snow White" will feature brand new original songs and it has already been confirmed that it will be a musical. THR also revealed that the story and the music from the 1937 original will be expanded upon, too. "Mary Poppins Returns'" producer Mar Platt is attached to produce Snow White.

The men tasked with trying to top the likes of "Heigh Ho" and "Whistle While You Work" are Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. The duo is currently unknown to most movie fans, but they have flourished in musical theatre, composing and writing the songs for "A Christmas Story" and "Dogfight."

"Snow White" is notably Disney's most iconic movie. Based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, it was the studio's first animated feature film, and it won an honorary Academy Award at the 11th Oscars. It features numerous songs that have become etched in pop culture history, while there have been numerous spin-offs and retellings of the story in the years since.

In fact, over the last five years there was 2012's "Mirror Mirror" and "Snow White And The Huntsman," which had its own sequel released back in April, and TV's "Once Upon A Time." It is also worth reminding that Disney previously announced earlier this year that they are also developing a live-action adaptation that instead focuses on Snow White's sister Rose Red. Considering the way that studios are always on the hunt for potential franchises and universes, fans speculated that there is a chance that Rose Red and Snow White might crossover.

The Beauty and the Beast is set to be released next with Emma Watson playing Belle and Dan Stevens as the Beast. It will be released in March 2017. Meanwhile, Mulan's live-action release will come in November of 2018, as reported by E!Online.
