Disney's Live-Action "Little Mermaid" Casts Halle Bailey

This is such an exciting news because I get to see Ariel in another color, and it will be an ecsatic moment to go and watch it! I hope I get a chance to watch live action!

The film is being directed by Rob Marshall, who said: “After an extensive search, it was abundantly clear that Halle possesses that rare combination of spirit, heart, youth, innocence, and substance - plus a glorious singing voice - all intrinsic qualities necessary to play this iconic role.”
