With Cinderella currently grossing $355 million world wide, it looks like Disney have lined up their next live action remake, with The Hollywood Reporter revealing that the House of Mouse are moving forward with another big screen outing for Mulan, once again adapting the ancient Chinese legend of Hua Mulan, a female warrior who disguises herself as a man to take her aging father's place in the military. No word if wise cracking dragon Mushu (originally voiced by Eddie Murphy) will be along for the ride.
Written by the screen writing team of Lauren Hynek and Elizabeth Martin, no director is attached to the project at this early stage, but We're The Millers' Chris Bender and J.C. Spink are on board to produce. Currently without a release date, Mulan slots into Disney's slate of upcoming live action retelling's of their calssic cartoons, including The Jungle Book (due out next year), Beauty and the Beast (expected in 2017), and Dumbo (also without a release date).
