Disney has released the teaser trailer for the Live-Action Remake of “The Little Mermaid” Starring Halle Bailey.
The film, set to release in May of 2023 is a envisioning of the 1989 classic, where Ariel was originally being portrayed by singer and actress Jodi Benson. ‘The Little Mermaid’ follows the story of Mermaid Ariel’, who falls in love with land human Prince Eric. Her overbearing and protective father who is prejudiced against humans, refuses to allow her to interact with Eric, or from spending too much time above water at all.
Below is an official synopsis from Disney:
The Little Mermaid” is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters, and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land, but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy.
