Good point. Hopefully they still have time to change their minds and go with Queen Latifah. Disney even knows she's perfect since they've already shown us exactly what she would look like in the part:

Live Action Little Mermaid - Ursula?  Jul 3 2019, 05:17:01 PM
If anything, this should confirm exactly why they're going with McCarthy, when Queen Latifah would have been an obvious and better choice. I don't believe for a second Disney would be daring enough to cast both Ariel and Ursula with black actresses.

Bailey is adorable, and I'm glad to hear they're going with a real singer (which is more vital for this Disney princess than any other). If her casting means we have to have McCarthy, so be it.


Stephanie J. Block OUT of Cher Show  Jun 29 2019, 11:13:29 PM

Any chance anyone saw the matinee today? Evidently Michael Fatica, the other Sonny understudy (who usually plays Phil Spector, the Top of the Pops guy, and other minor characters), was in for Jarrod. He's pretty short so I imagine the height issue mentioned above with the other understudy wasn't an issue. Curious how he did. (Doesn't hurt that I think he's pretty adorable.)

It's not going to be live. It's a typical feature adaptation, filming this December to be released next fall.

Eh, it's not just the usual Netflix movie though. NF wants to be an Oscars player and has committed to giving this a fall 2020 theatrical release and awards push before it hits their service. Streep, Kidman and co. in awards bait doesn't seem insane at all. (Whether it has any cha

There already was a thread where it was being discussed:

People decided to discuss it here too, as you can likely expect to happen in any thread discussing this show. You're not going to be able to segregate the opinions when any support of this show will likely involve lining the pockets of a homophobic z
