Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Billy Magnussen teases story details about the forthcoming Lilo & Stitch live-action remake. The original 2002 animated movie, which was directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, follows a young girl who adopts a mysterious alien experiment named Stitch as her pet dog.
I don't think you can compare pieces of art to each other. I adored working with everyone in this. Rideback was the producing house making this film, and I did Aladdin with them. Again, it's a story about connection, and a kid trying to find a friend, and all you can do is approach a project like that with love. I am so grateful and honored to be a part of that project.
A number of talented actors have already been confirmed to star in the Lilo & Stitch live-action movie. Chris Sanders will return to play Stitch, while Lilo will be portrayed by Maia Kealoha. Other cast members include Courtney B. Vance and Sydney Agudong. While Kahiau Machado was initially cast to play David Kawena, Disney later recast the role after discovering social media posts where Machado used racial slurs; Kaipo Dudoit will now play David.
