Disney fans have been left unexpectedly optimistic about the forthcoming Lilo & Stitch live-action remake after the official trailer landed yesterday.
The film, adapted from Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois's 2002 cartoon, will star Maia Kealoha as Lilo, Sydney Agudong as her sister Nani, with Chris Sanders reprising his voice role as Sitch.
Dean Fleischer Camp's remake will also see Courtney B. Vance take on the role of former CIA agent Cobra Bubbles, with Billy Magnussen playing alien "Earth expert," Pleakley.
The 2002 original Lilo & Stitch movie follows the story of a lonely six-year-old girl, who adopts what she thinks is a dog but actually turns out to be an extraterrestrial entity that has escaped prison.
In the trailer, the Lilo & Stitch live action script almost exactly follows that of the cartoon, with fans celebrating how similar the adaptation is to the original film.
