    Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Announces Live Action “Moana”

    Mary Anne ButlerBy Updated:1 Min Read

    Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has just revealed a live-action version of Disney’s “Moana” is in the works!

    The announcement from Disney also included a mention of Auli’i Cravalho, who voiced Moana in the animated film, being involved. No confirmation on if she’ll be reprising the role in the live action or not. We can only hope!

    The new feature film is produced by Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia via Seven Bucks Productions, and Beau Flynn (Flynn Picture Co.).  Auli‘i Cravalho, who voiced Moana in the 2016 film, and Scott Sheldon of Flynn Picture Co. will executive produce. Jared Bush (“Zootopia“) and Samoan industry pro Dana Ledoux Miller will also take part in the production.

    Bush wrote the screenplay for 2016’s “Moana.”  

    “Like its animated predecessor, the film will celebrate the islands, communities and traditions of Pacific Islanders as seen through the eyes of a young woman eager to pave her own path. Moana’s journey of self-discovery and reflection on the lives of her ancestors won hearts worldwide, as did her newfound friendship with an exiled demigod named Maui.”

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
