Tiana gets a live-action story
Disney is developing an original live-action film centred on Princess Tiana, inspired by The Princess and the Frog.
According to reports, Emmy winner Colman Domingo and Tony-nominated director Robert O’Hara are in talks to co-write the project. Rather than remaking the 2009 animated classic, the film will be a new story featuring Tiana.
The original movie followed the ambitious waitress as she was transformed into a frog and journeyed through the Louisiana bayou with Prince Naveen to break a magical curse. Disney has also confirmed that the planned Tiana animated series has been shelved and replaced with a Disney+ short-form special.
