The Revival Of Kim Possible With A Live-Action Movie
Call her, beep her, if you wanna reach Kim Possible she may be coming back to your screens in the near future.
A live-action movie based on the animated series Kim Possible is in the works! Casting for all roles — including the title character, a high school student who juggles cheerleading and crimefighting — is currently underway.
Original series creators Mark McCorkle and Robert Schooley are penning the script, along with Josh Cagan (The DUFF). McCorkle, Schooley and Zanne Devine (I, Tonya) will executive-produce.
If you loved the animated Disney Channel series, this may be something to look forward too. I know the eight year-old inside of me is praying they don’t screw it up.
Are you looking forward to it? Do you think it’ll be a success?

Director Found For Disney’s Sword in the Stone Remake
It’s been awhile since we’ve heard anything about Disney’s live-action remake of the Sword in The Stone, but it’s back in the news indicating a strong move forward.
Disney is very close to locking in a director, specifically Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, director of the zombie thriller 28 Weeks Later.
Disney’s original Sword in the Stone was released in 1963 and followed Arthur as a boy who becomes a pupil to Merlin and is taken on unusual adventures thanks to Merlin’s magic.
It was July of 2015 when it was first announced that Game of Thrones writer Bryan Cogman was working on a script, but we’ve heard essentially nothing since then, leading us to wonder whether or not this project was still an active concern.
Disney’s current live-action remake slate consists of the Winnie the Pooh movie with Ewan McGregor, Christopher Robin, set for later this year, with Dumbo, Aladdin, and The Lion King all set for 2019.

While it hasn’t been confirmed that it will be Naveen, it’s pretty obvious that he will be cast for the upcoming spring season.

The Nutcracker and The Four Realms Teaser Trailer
The holiday season is upon us and to add to the festive spirit, Disney has released a teaser trailer of the live-action retelling of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s 1816 story The Nutcracker And The Mouse King.
The Nutcracker And The Four Realms follows Clara (Mackenzie Foy) whose only wish is to get hold of a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift from her late mother. A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer’s (Morgan Freeman) annual holiday party leads her to the coveted key — which promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. There, Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight), a gang of mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets. Clara and Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger (Helen Mirren), to retrieve Clara’s key and hopefully return harmony to the unstable world.
Other cast members include Jack Whitehall, Richard E Grant, Eugenio Derbez and Keira Knightly. Knightley is playing the sugar-plum fairy. There’s also a special performance by Misty Copeland.
Disney opens The Nutcracker on November 2, 2018.

Jack-Jack Returns in New Teaser Trailer For Incredibles 2
Baby Jack-Jack is back in the new Incredibles 2 teaser.
Jack-Jack shows off his superpowers much to the excitement of his dad, Bob (voiced by Craig T. Nelson)
Incredibles 2 is directed by Brad Bird and produced by John Walker and Nicole Grindle. It follows the family of superheroes from the original 2004 film, but this time Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is in the spotlight, with Bob at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell) and Dash (voice of Huck Milner) to navigate the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life. As the loglines note, it’s a tough transition for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack’s emerging superpowers.
Samuel L. Jackson also returns as the voice of Frozone to re-team with the family.
The highly-anticipated sequel is set to hit screens June 15, 2018.
