Subject: Disney to make Maleficent and Jungle Book sequels

Written By: Philip Eno on 04/26/16 at 5:11 am

A second Jon Favreau-directed Jungle Book will be made and Angelina Jolie will reprise her role in a Maleficent sequel, Disney has announced.

The studio also confirmed a Mary Poppins sequel, starring Emily Blunt, and 101 Dalmatians spin-off, Cruella.
The Mary Poppins film will also star Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote and performed in Broadway hit, Hamilton.
A Tim Burton-directed Dumbo and a "Tinker Bell project" starring Reese Witherspoon are also in development.

Also confirmed by Disney were a live-action adaptation of Madeline L'Engle's fantasy novel A Wrinkle In Time, the Dwayne Johnson-starring Jungle Cruise and The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, a Christmas story based on ETA Hoffman's 19th Century tale.

Seriously? We already had this:

I want to still be able to categorize the 1996 movie with all of the live action Disney remakes from the 2010s, gosh darn it. Glenn Close already perfected Cruella in the flesh.

For me, why bother with a sequel to "Maleficent", for we all fell asleep watching the first one.

I think it's time for Disney to stop making these remakes. Why the hell do we need to see so many of them?

Years before, the Disney policy was to re-release the original classics for every new generation of children.

That makes sense. But now we live in a world where VHS tapes, DVDs, and Blu-Ray Discs exist. There's no need to put in live-action remakes for their classics.

It all boils down to, is the world running out of good scenarios for movies?
