Live action remakes are all the rage…
Welcome to #TRAILERCHEST, where we’re taking a look at the new trailer for Disney’s live action Mulan update.
Plot’s it all about?
Well, it’s Mulan, isn’t it? 21 years after the original hit screens, Disney are revisiting the Chinese legend in yet another live action take on a classic animation adventure.
Your mileage may vary when it comes to this approach – those new lions in The Lion King are basically just lions, right? – but the people have spoken with their wallets, with the likes of Beauty and the Beast and more enjoying colossal box office success.
Mulan 2.0 arrives next year, and will present the tale of a young woman who disregards both tradition and the law by disguising herself as a man in order to enlist herself in the army in place of her ailing father.
Starring: Liu Yifei, Donnie Yen, Jet Li, Gong Li, Tzi Ma, Jason Scott Lee
Directed by: Niki Caro
Irish release date: 27 March 2020
Enjoy!
