Cruella, Peter Pan, Pinicchio Live Action Might Be Moved To Disney+

[RAMROD 109,873]

 

The uncertainty of the future theatrical marketplace has Disney looking at launching a number of its upcoming tentpole family films on Disney+ instead of the theatrical release bows that were envisioned when the films were developed and green lit. At this point, the films being discussed to make that pivot are Cruella, the Craig Gillespie-directed live-action re-imaging of the animated classic that stars Emma Stone and Emma Thompson; the Robert Zemeckis-directed Pinocchio that has Tom Hanks starring; and Peter Pan and Wendy, the David Lowery-directed film that has Grown-ish star Yara Shahidi set to play Tinker Bell.

The studio is looking at every option, and everything is under consideration and contingency planning, as Disney makes plans to lean in heavily on its direct-to-consumer initiative and towards continuing to build the juggernaut Disney+, whose subscriber numbers brightened up a last quarter that would otherwise have been bleak because of the wallop that theme parks and live entertainment took from the COVID pandemic.

 

 

(Will be updated as soon as final decision taken, likely on December 10 2020, during Disney's annual Investors Day meeting, this year will be virtual)

The only live action mentioned in the article that I'd see being a hit if it wasn't for COVID is Cruella anyways

Isn't that picture like 2 years old by now? Have they filmed the movie already?
