Watch the New Trailer for 'The Little Mermaid' Live-Action Film! (Video)

The trailer for the live-action Little Mermaid film is finally here!

Don’t get confused, though – the movie doesn’t play off the Disney film we know so well. Instead, it remakes Hans Christian Andersen‘s classic 1837 fairtytale.

This Little Mermaid movie will take place in the Deep South, following two siblings (William Moseley and Loreto Peralta) who visit a circus in Mississippi with the hopes of finding the real-life Little Mermaid (Poppy Drayton)

The film also stars Oscar-winning actress Shirley MacLaine and is directed by Blake Harris and Chris Bouchard.

Meanwhile, Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid – which Lin-Manuel Miranda will be writing new music for – is still in early development.

Look out for Harris and Bouchard‘s live-action Little Mermaid later this year, and watch the trailer below!
