Serendipity 7,821 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 In an anonymous open letter over at the Angry Asian Man blog, an Asian-American entertainment industry pro who has read the 2015 spec script called The Legend of Mulan by Lauren Hynek and Elizabeth Martin that Disney purchased for their live-action Mulan (which is set for release in November of 2018), revealed that this version of the film has very little to do with Mulan at all. Instead, it has to do with a white savior who only helps the Chinese Imperial Army because he thinks Mulan is purdy. The anonymous pro writes, “The man is a 30-something European trader who initially cares only for the pleasure of women and money. The only reason why he and his entourage decide to help the Chinese Imperial Army is because he sets eyes on Mulan. That’s right. Our white savior has come to the aid of Ancient China due to a classic case of Yellow Fever. In this script written by Lauren Hynek and Elizabeth Martin, more than half of its pages are dedicated to this merchant who develops a mutual attraction with Mulan and fights to protect her in the ensuing battles. To top it all off, this man gets the honor of defeating the primary enemy of China, not Mulan. Way to steal a girl’s thunder.” http://www.themarysue.com/live-action-mulan-stars-white-savior-wtf/ See talent here-->http://bit.ly/2eqeUxK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A source, however, tells V.F. that the spec script will not serve as the official script for the adaptation. “The spec script was a jumping-off point for a new take on the story that draws from both the literary ballad of Mulan and Disney’s 1998 animated film," the source said. "Mulan is and will always be the lead character in the story, and all primary roles, including the love interest, are Chinese.” The statement seems to confirm that the spec script might have included a white male lead, which would have been disappointing had it come to fruition. However, fans should be glad to know that when the live-action movie itself eventually hits theaters, Mulan's story will stay true to the character's roots. They scrapped the original script.
