As streaming services become more common, it seems as though the quality of their content is becoming more competitive. In what will likely be direct competition to streaming giants like Hulu and Netflix, Disney is taking huge steps to make sure their product makes a whole lot of noise in 2019. The service, which recently revealed that it's working on a new season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, has announced that a live-action retelling of Lady and the Tramp is in the works as well.
Directed by Charlie Bean (The Lego Ninjago Movie), the film has started rounding out its cast. According to Collider, Justin Theroux, who was acclaimed for his performance in The Leftovers, will be voicing the Tramp.
Unfortunately, this will be the first of Disney's CG/live-action retellings that will not hit theaters. This is a risk due to the undeniable benefit and profit a theatrical release would give the film. At this point, Disney seems very confident its streaming service will be a success. The real question is, will you be one of Disney's subscribers?
