It was solely a matter of time earlier than Disney’s live-action diversifications moved from fairytale classics to the studio’s extra fashionable hits. The live-action Lilo and Stitch simply lined up a comedy get with Zach Galifianakis (A Wrinkle in Time, The Hangover), in line with The Hollywood Reporter. Particulars on his character aren’t but revealed.
As beforehand reported, this new model of Disney’s girl-meets-alien musical shall be directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, who made the heartwarming Marcel the Shell With Shoes On—a equally hybrid animation and live-action function.
