Colman Domingo is in talks to co-write an original live-action film spotlighting Princess Tiana from Disney‘s The Princess and the Frog, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Domingo will co-write the take alongside Tony-nominated director Robert O’Hara. Deals have not closed for the pair. It is not described as a live-action remake of The Princess and the Frog, but rather a story inspired by the original film.
The Princess and the Frog released in 2009, centers on Princess Tiana, an aspiring restaurant owner who tries to help a frog prince turn back into a human, when she herself also turns into a frog and they end up falling in love.
The news of a new live-action Disney flick comes after Moana just hit theaters last Friday, and got off to a rocky start at the box office. Disney has seen ups-and-downs in terms of reception to its live-action remakes.
