Universal found their little mermaid
In June of this year, we announced that director Sofia Coppola has left the Universal and Focus Features The Little Mermaid joint project. Now the site Variety writes that the work on the film continues, and Chloe Grace Moretz got the main role in the new version of the tale by Hans Christian Andersen.The studio is also in talks with Richard Curtis (Love Actually) to revise the script, which Kelly Marcel, Abi Morgan and Caroline Thompson have had a hand in. I haven't found a replacement for Coppola Universal yet, so the project is still without a director. Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner are responsible for the production of the film. Insiders report that Moretz was the main contender for the role, even when Coppola was planning to lead the shoot. It is rumored that this very fact became a bone of contention between Universal and the filmmaker.  It is not yet known whether the plot of the upcoming film will differ from the classic story of Anderson , first published back in 1837. Several times the tale of a little mermaid who dreamed of becoming an ordinary girl was sent to screens, and one of the most famous adaptations is an animated film by Disney studio.  Chloe Grace Moretz not so long ago could be seen in the thriller "Dark Secrets", and next year the premiere of four films with the participation of the actress is planned at once - "5th Wave", "Neighbors on the Warpath 2 "," Mind on Fire "and" November Criminals ".
