Disney Making a Live-Action 'Lady and the Tramp' With Tessa Thompson & Justin Theroux
During yesterday's Disney+ streaming service announcement, Walt Disney Studios President of Production, Sean Bailey, took the time to tease the platform's upcoming films, including a live-action remake of 1955 classic, Lady and the Tramp.
Directed by Charlie Bean, the movie finds Tessa Thompson voicing Lady, while Justin Theroux stars opposite as Tramp. The live-action reboot also features Janelle Monae, Thomas Mann, Kiersey Clemons, Benedict Wong, Ashley Jensen and Yvette Nicole Brown, and is written by Andrew Bujalski and produced by Bringham Taylor.
Lady and the Tramp joins the likes of Dumbo, Aladdin and The Lion King, all receiving a live-action remake by Disney. The film is slated to premiere on November 12, the same day as the launch of Disney+.
