Disney Sets Live-Action "Princess and the Frog"
Colman Domingo and Robert O’Hara are in talks to write a Tiana film that is billed as a spin-off, not a remake, sources said.
- Actor Colman Domingo and director Robert O'Hara are in talks to co-write a live-action Disney project centered on Princess Tiana, developed as a spin-off rather than a direct remake of the original animated feature.
- The original film grossed $271 million worldwide and received three Academy Award nominations, establishing Tiana as a major Disney Princess now featured in attractions like Bayou Adventure at Disney World Resort and Disneyland.
- Disney continues pursuing live-action adaptations despite inconsistent box office results; while Lilo & Stitch earned over $1 billion domestically last year, Snow White opened to $42.2 million.
- Deals for Domingo and O'Hara have not yet closed, though the project joins a slate including Tangled, directed by Michael Gracey, and Stepsisters, a Cinderella spin-off directed by Akiva Schaffer.
- Domingo, who recently earned double Emmy nominations for The Four Seasons and Euphoria, brings significant industry momentum to the project, which Disney hopes will resonate as an inspired spin-off approach.
