“Robin Hood” Live-Action Remake is Coming Soon to Disney

Disney is making a live-action remake of ‘Robin Hood.'

According to Variety, an upcoming remake is headed to Disney+ and will remake the 1976 animated classic with director Carlos López Estrada.

According to reports, Kari Granlund, who previously wrote Disney+'s live-action, “Lady and the Tramp,”  will write the screenplay. Justin Springer (Dumbo) will produce the remake. Variety reports the upcoming movie will be similar to Disney's “The Jungle Book” and “Dumbo” reboots, with live-action mixed with CGI. Casting is currently underway for the upcoming feature film.

Director Carlos López Estrada made his directorial debut in 2018 with “Blindspotting.” He also directed music videos for Billie Eilish and Carly Rae Jepsen.

“Robin Hood” is just the latest of a long history of old Disney rebooted animated movies. It is also the newest movie to go directly to the new Disney+ platform.

Disney+ is slowly building a massive collection of original content. The Georgia-filmed “The Lady and the Tramp” remake, and several original films, including “Stargirl,” are the latest additions to the platform. One of the most popular productions is the “Star Wars” spinoff “The Mandalorian.” “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” “Loki,” and “WandaVision” were filming in Georgia before the Coronavirus outbreak. However, the global pandemic has led to a significant global shutdown.
