Maia herself is from Hawaii, which is a central trait to have in portraying Lilo in a live action adaptation. (Pictured here is Daveigh Chase, who voiced Lilo in the original animated movie.)

Lilo & Stitch centers on “the friendship formed between a lonely human girl named Lilo and an alien named Stitch, who is engineered to be a force of destruction.”

It was previously reported that Dean Fleischer Camp will be directing, and Zach Galifianakis has been cast in a mystery role.
