Det är alltså ingen mindre än Maui själv eller Dwayne Johnson som han egentligen heter som via en video utannonserar att Disney just nu jobbar på en live-action remake av Moana.
Dwayne Johnson kommer producera och precis som kanske förväntar sig även spela rollen som Maui igen. Handlingen kommer också vara densamma som i 2016 års version men det är ännu oklart om fler skådisar än Johnson kommer att reprisera sina roller. Något premiärdatum finns heller inte i skrivande stund.
Johnson säger så här om saken:
"I'm deeply humbled and overcome with gratitude to bring the beautiful story of Moana to the live-action big screen. This story is my culture, and this story is emblematic of our people's grace and warrior strength. I wear this culture proudly on my skin and in my soul, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reunite with Maui, inspired by the mana and spirit of my late grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia, is one that runs very deep for me. I want to thank my partners at Disney for their strong commitment to this special endeavor, because there is no better world for us to honor the story of our people, our passion and our purpose than through the realm of music and dance, which is at the core of who we are as Polynesian people."
Maui och Moana kommer tillbaka till den vita duken i form av en live-action remake.
