Chloe Grace Moretz will star in the upcoming Universal live-action movie, The Little Mermaid.
According to reports, Richard Curtis from Love, Actually, is completing his deal to write the script for the film, which is based on the fairy tale written by Hans Christian Anderson.
The original story centers around a mermaid who saves a mwn from drowning and falls in love with him.
While the movie’s title has not been officially released, Universal has been working on this movie for a long time.
Sophia Coppola was initially expected to direct The Little Mermaid, but left due to creative differences. In addition, Universal wanted to cast a known star to appear in the movie while Sophia Coppola was interested in finding an unknown actress to play The Little Mermaid.
And it’s no surprise Universal chose Moretz. She has been the go-to actress for the last 5 years. She will appear in the upcoming Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, and The Fifth Wave, two movies that both filmed in Atlanta, Georgia.
There is no word when or where filming will take place on The Little Mermaid.
