Live Action The Little Mermaid Film On The Way
Working Title Films is teaming with director Joe Wright the director of such films as "Pride & Prejudice," "Atonement" and "The Soloist." is developing a live-action movie version of Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale "The Little Mermaid."
The script -- for what will be the first English-language live-action adaptation of the tale -- has been penned by Abi Morgan ("Brick Lane") for Working Title and Wright.
It tells the classic tale of a young mermaid who gives up her life in the sea to love a human prince.
Andersen's story was first published in 1837 and has been adapted numerous times for stage and screen. Wright's version is inspired by a children's puppet theatre production of the classic at London's Little Angel Theatre Company, backers said.
