It looks like we have two more cast members for Disney’s live-action Little Mermaid remake.
So far in Rob Marshall’s movie we’ll have Halle Bailey as Ariel and Melissa McCarthy as the evil Ursula and now we have Harry Styles as Pince Eric and Javier Bardem is close to signing on to play King Triton joining Jacob Tremblay as Flounder and Awkwafina as Scuttle.
Styles, the former One Direction singer made an impressive debut in Christopher Nolan’s superb Dunkirk movie, so don’t rule him out just because of his music career. This would also seem to point towards the fact that this movie will likely be a full-out musical and Eric will have songs to sing in this version, unlike his 2D counterpart.
Bardem brings an unquestionable bit of class to the movie with his roles in No Country For Old Men and Mother standing him out from the crowd as an actor at the top of his game.
The movie will begin filming early next year.
Marc
Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
