Halle Bailey Gives Update On Live Action 'The Little Mermaid'

Halle Bailey is dishing on her live action remake of The Little Mermaid!

The 20-year-old singer and star of the movie opened up about having to halt production due to the pandemic.

“Well, just like everybody else, I mean, the whole world is kind of on pause. I was in London since the beginning of the year, and about to start filming, and of course this pandemic has caused everybody to slow down. I actually welcomed it because I was really missing my sister. She was here in LA, I was in London, so I was happy to get back to her,” Halle told ET.

“I’m just so very excited for when we start back again. It’s really coming together. I just feel so honored every day, even thinking about it or talking about it, I’m like, ‘What the heck?’ That’s really happening,” she added.

Halle was also asked if any casting would change with the scheduling changes.

“No, not at all. The cast are beautiful humans, inside and out, and everybody’s already like a family,” she said.

As for the possibility of a Chloe x Halle original song being on the soundtrack…

“Ooh! That would be so fun,” Halle and her sister Chloe said at the same time, with suspicious/excited looks on their faces, possibly hinting that it’s happening.

“Well, when it comes out, you’ll have to wait and see,” Halle added.
