Upcoming projects include a live-action 'Hercules' and a 'The Lion King' prequel.
A New York Times story about Sean Bailey, Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production’s president for 13 years, included a mention that Bailey has more than 50 movies in the works, including live-action “reimaginings” of “Snow White” and “Lilo and Stitch” set for 2024 and “Moana” and “Hercules” in pre-production.
Bailey also said there’s an idea rolling around for relaunching the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, which had five films. The last of these was released in 2017. “How do you deal with audiences that are changing outside our country, inside our country?” Bailey told the New York Times. “How do you tell stories — stories that matter to everyone — in a world that is increasingly polarized?”
Disney has been generally successful with its remakes, however. According to Box Office Mojo, it made $1.05 billion from the live-action “Aladdin” in 2019, $1.6 billion from a “photorealistic” “The Lion King,” in 2019, and $1.26 billion from the “Beauty and the Beast” retelling from 2017. Angelina Jolie’s two “Maleficient” films from 2014 and 2019 earned about $1.25 billion together.
