Following the success of Maleficent, Cinderella, The
Jungle Book, and Pete's Dragon, Disney is now getting ready to give the
live-action treatment to yet another animated classic, this time to their very
first animated feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
After the recent Snow White and the Huntsman, Mirror,
Mirror, and The Huntsman, a new live-action musical take on the character is being
developed over at The Walt Disney Studios.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will expand
the story and music of the animated classic with new songs by Benj Pasek and
Justin Paul, the duo behind the film festival darling La La Land.
The Girl on the Train's scribe Erin Cressida Wilson is
in negotiations to write the script for the yet untitled movie, which counts
with Mary Poppins Returns' Marc Platt attached to produce.
Loosely based on the Brothers Grimm fairytale, Snow
White and the Seven Dwarfs came out in 1937, and was a massive success for the
studio, winning an honorary Oscar at the 11th Academy Awards.
Snow White joins several other live-action projects
currently being concocted back at the House of Mouse that are based on previous
animated material. The studio has in their pipeline such projects as Beauty and
the Beast, The Jungle Book 2, Lion King, Dumbo, Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, Mulan, Aladdin, Tinker
Bell, The Sword in the Stone, and Fantasia's Night on Bald Mountain.
