Disney has announced “Stepsisters,” a live-action feature focusing on Anastasia and Drizella – the evil stepsisters who abused Cinderella reports Deadline
The team behind the “Chip n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers” film – director Akiva Schaffer and writers Dan Gregor and Doug Mand – have boarded the project in the same capacities.
Gregor and Mand, who also penned “The Naked Gun” reboot, will re-write an original script by Michael Montemayor (“Tangled”). Ali Bell is producing.
The news comes as Disney has released a new featurette for its live-action “Moana” film today following yesterday’s trailer launch which led to divisive reaction.
Criticism has been levelled at the film’s artificial looking visuals and of the appearance of Dwayne Johnson’s Maui with the actor donning prosthetics, a bodysuit and long hair that added 40 pounds of weight to him according to EW.
Even Weird Al Yankovic weighed in (via DF) on Johnson’s look in the film, saying “We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.”
