We’ve just added new details about a live-action trailer for Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire that’s been making waves on TikTok.
Fans are buzzing with excitement and speculation after seeing viral images of a live-action adaptation of Disney’s 2001 animated film Atlantis: The Lost Empire. The original movie featured Milo Thatch, a scholarly mapmaker voiced by Michael J. Fox. In the film, Milo embarks on an adventure with a team of mercenaries to uncover the mysteries of the long-lost city of Atlantis.
With these new images stirring up interest, many are wondering if Disney is planning to remake this classic animation into a live-action film.
Is Disney Developing a Live-Action Atlantis?
It turns out that the images and trailers circulating online of a live-action Atlantis: The Lost Empire, including those featuring Millie Bobby Brown as Kida, are not real. These are just AI-generated depictions and fan creations of what a live-action version might look like.
Disney has not announced any plans for a live-action remake of Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Their upcoming remakes include Snow White, Moana, and Lilo & Stitch.
Interestingly, the idea of a live-action Atlantis isn’t new, and it’s not just sparked by recent AI images. Back in 2020, Kirk Wise, one of the directors of the original animated film, dismissed rumors of a remake. He noted that such news had only circulated online and that he hadn’t seen any official confirmation.
Gary Trousdale, another director of the original film, also confirmed Disney’s lack of interest, stating that Atlantis was not part of Disney’s plans revealed at major events like the D23 Expo.
A new trailer for a live-action Atlantis: The Lost Empire has recently gone viral on TikTok. This trailer claims to be leaked from a test screening that might have happened before an official announcement at D23 2024. However, just like earlier ones, this trailer is another fan-made creation using AI.
