Disney's Little Mermaid Remake Director Responds to Lindsay Lohan Casting Bid

Disney's the Little Mermaid live-action remake director Rob Marshall reacts to Lindsay Lohan casting rumors. Lohan has gotten in on the fun and wants to star in the remake alongside Meryl Streep after fans suggested that she would be perfect to play Ariel. The actress declares that the under the sea tale is her favorite movie and that she is harassing her agent about getting in touch with Disney. Details surrounding the upcoming remake are sparse and it doesn't look like the casting process has even started at this time, though it was heavily rumored for a while that Zendaya was the actress that the studio wanted.

In a new interview, The Little Mermaid director Rob Marshall was asked about Lindsay Lohan potentially getting the lead role of Ariel in the live-action remake. While things don't seem to be going in Lohan's favor at the moment, there is still a chance that she and her agent can work some magic to get the part. But, that will be up to the studio to decide. Rob Marshall had this to say.

 

 

"Gosh, I don't know who's gonna play these roles yet. We haven't really got that far. I think we'll start that process probably sometimes this summer. You know, right now we're just focusing on the characters, the material, which is everything. You know, that's the most important thing. I'm starting have some ideas. But it's, you know, haven't gotten there yet."

 

 

 

 

Reactions on social media to Lindsay Lohan's pleas to play in Ariel Disney's live-action remake of The Little Mermaid have been pretty favorable. The actress certainly has the look down, but it's unclear if she has the acting and singing chops to satisfy Disney. Reactions to Zendaya getting the role have been mixed at best, though it seems that was only a rumor since Rob Marshall says they haven't gotten to the casting phase yet. However, he could just be letting Lohan down gently.

 

Lindsay Lohan is also gunning for a Mean Girls sequel and wants everybody back to reprise their roles from the original. Much like the idea of the actress starring in The Little Mermaid live-action movie, that doesn't look like it's going to happen at this time either. With that being said, Lohan probably has a better chance of getting that Mean Girls sequel than getting the role of Ariel.

Rob Marshall also revealed that there will be new songs included in the live-action Little Mermaid movie in addition to the classics from the original. Lin-Manuel Miranda and Alan Menken are writing the new songs that will help tell this new version of the story on the big screen. Marshall looks forward to bringing the iconic tale to life in a new way, but it appears that they are just getting started, which makes sense since Disney is putting out three live-action remakes this year alone. You can watch the interview with Marshall below, thanks to the

Honestly? When she was on her peak, she would really suit role of Ariel. But not anymore. 

 

From the rumors / girlswho were named as those who could do it ... Karen Gillan would be slightly better match. or Emma Stone.

 

Either way all of them are kinda old Ariel should be portraited by girl in her early twenties, preferably new actress, tbh since naivity of little mermaid is like one of the main points of the story.

I honestly think AnnaSophia Robb would be perfect for the role. She looks the closest to Ariel imo and she is a good actress and can sing.

 

 

Omg she would be perfect! Disney what are you waiting for

But what was that vid akhfsougaouglgha

wish it was an actress with softer features though but I can't think of any other actress than her

Yeah I don't think Emma Stone and Karen are much better either

Honestly as I said. I would prefer new actress to get the role. Some fresh face since Ariel always gave those fresh and naive vibes. I even saw people sayin Ariana or Miley should do it. Lol. 

 

 

Since lets be honest all of the mentioned are old for this role. In Lindsey case her face is marked by drugs so she looks ... not matching at all tbh. There not even a trace of pure, cute and naive in her anymore... 

 

 Â¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But I agree it would be nice if it was a new actress who matches Ariel

I can imagine Anna Sophia Robb in the role. At least she looks cute. 

 

Little Mermaid is my most favourite fairytale tbh. The only good point is that I always prefered the original tale over disney so if they fok it up, the original will remain untouched. 0u0plz.png
