Lilo And Stitch 2 Live-Action Movie Is In The Works, Confirms Disney
Disney has announced via social media that a live-action Lilo and Stitch 2 is in development.
A live-action Lilo and Stitch 2 is in the works. Disney has confirmed via social media that it's currently working on another movie in its popular Lilo and Stitch film franchise.
In a promotional video for the new movie, Stitch is seen excitedly driving into the parking lot of the Disney film studios. The fictional character then performs a series of sharp turns, with his tyre marks confirming that Lilo and Stitch 2 is now in development.
Disney captioned the Instagram post: 'should've known he couldn't keep a secret.
'a 626 day surprise: #LiloAndStitch 2 is now in development! (sic)"
Despite this, Disney hasn't revealed any further details about the project, such as the film's cast or the release date.
The studio has already enjoyed huge success with the Lilo and Stitch franchise, including the original movie back in 2002.
The live-action Lilo and Stitch remake premiered last month and quickly became a big success at the box office. The film – which featured the likes of Billy Magnussen, Hannah Waddingham, Courtney B. Vance and Zach Galifianakis – has already grossed more than $900 million.
Dean Fleischer Camp directed the live-action Lilo and Stitch remake, and he previously revealed that he jumped at the opportunity to helm the project.
The 41-year-old director told Deadline: 'It's always been my favourite Disney animated film, and it's always been the one that I felt like I could do a live-action adaptation of because when I saw the original in theatres, I was in high school, and it didn't look like any other animated Disney movie I'd ever seen.
'The characters felt so authentic and a little rough around the edges in a way that I now know is the influence of Chris Sanders' actual, original art style. But at the time, I just thought, wow, this is such a different look for a Disney movie.
'It's also the thing that made it seem like there's a great opportunity here to tell a live-action version of these characters because, unlike most Disney animated films, it takes place in contemporary society. It stars real, mostly humans going through some real stuff that many other humans go through daily. So, it felt like a great opportunity. I jumped at the chance."
The director actually loved how his movie turned out.
He shared: 'I think we were all coming from a place of real love for the original. It's always been my favourite Disney movie. And so, I think there were a lot of those, and sometimes you have to let go and kill your darlings and it just doesn't work out for one reason or another. But I think the main things that we were really focused on, we got, and I'm proud that we nailed it."

Renovation work begins at Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoors houses in Pakistan
Peshawar, Jul 28 (PTI) The reconstruction and renovation work on the ancestral homes of legendary Indian actors Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor officially began in Pakistan's Peshawar city on Monday, according to officials. The project is set to be completed in two years at an estimated cost of Rs 70 million, said Director of Archaeology Dr Abdus Samad. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government released the funds for the project, which includes structural and aesthetic restoration of the historical residences. The Directorate of Archaeology and Museums has been tasked with overseeing the work, which aims to restore the buildings to their original condition. The provincial Archaeology Department has planned to convert both structures into museums dedicated to the lives and careers of the legendary actors. The then-Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif declared these houses a national heritage site on July 13, 2014. According to Dr Samad, the primary goal of the project is to safeguard the province's historical and cultural heritage while promoting heritage tourism. This initiative will not only boost local tourism but also create new employment opportunities, he said. 'With the support of the World Bank, these projects will revolutionise the tourism sector in the province. Our aim is to make Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's beautiful cultural landmarks a focal point for tourists worldwide," said the provincial government's Advisor for Tourism Zahid Khan Shinwari.
