A live-action remake of Disney’s 2016 animation blockbuster Moana is currently in development, according to Dwayne Johnson. The American actor described himself as being “very humbled” to reveal the news and said the tale was “emblematic of our culture’s grace, mana, and warrior might.”
With the assistance of the boisterous demi-god Maui, played by Johnson, the adventurous adolescent Moana embarks on a perilous expedition to save her people. Johnson announced the project in a little internet video that was shot with his daughters on the Hawaiian island of O’ahu’s beach.
