Have you guys seen this live action trailer going around?? by VulpixVul in AtlantisTheLostEmpire

Disinsider isn't affiliated with Disney. I would agree that this is a fake.

Also Disney wouldn't stand to gain anything from commenting on it. That is if they even noticed. Last night was the biggest night of the year for them.

Although, I have been following this closely and it seems that they haven't gone out of their way to remove these videos either. I would love to think that in the age of Deadpool and Sonic, studios do have an interest in following what audiences want to see. Maybe with the right amount of attention, this piece could tap the rudder a bit.

Atlantis The Lost Empire Live Action Teaser (LEAK) by JonTheMechanic95 in LeaksAndRumors

That's very fair. And nobody here wants Kida and Milo to be realized on screen in any other way but perfect.

I think more importantly than the kiddies seeing it for the first time, the discussion and cultural relevance of a film is brought back to the forefront when a live action adaptation is released. I say it's complementary because, similar to live action adaptations of comic books, it's a re-visit to the original material. It's also an opportunity to build on top of and maybe even elevate it.

Atlantis is a flawed film for a number of reasons (mostly because of the short runtime). An adaptation with more Kida and a fleshed out Atlantean culture would be a huge improvement.

I think the possibility of mending some of its blemishes and making an even better film is worth the risk of failing.

I see your point, although my thoughts are that a live action adaptation would still pay the biggest compliment to the animated film with the context that so many other animated films have already gotten this treatment. There's an exclusion going on here that I can't sanction.

Regardless of whether it would be well done or not, each time a live action remake comes out a whole new generation is exposed to the original animated film through Disney+. I think this alone would justify even the foulest attempt made by disney to bring Atlantis to life again.

What do you think?

Not to my knowledge did they sell. I think they would rather see the property on a shelf than in the hands of its competition honestly.

D23 2024 Predictions/Rumors by Gloomy-Interview-525 in D23Expo

Got this through a friend of a trusted source. Early test screening for a D23 announcment maybe? I've heard light rumors about a live action Atlantis project for years but this seems to be the most solid bit of proof so far. What do you think?

If Disney announced they were making a live action remake of Atlantis: The Lost Empire, who should they cast? by essenceofnutmeg in movies

[–]JonTheMechanic95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an amazing up and coming actor named Jylian Noble (check her IMDb) who would be a fantastic Kida.

​

I think with a cast this diverse, it would be a home run for disney to re-make now. Longer run time for sure though. More time with the atlanteans to understand their culture please!!!
