JA in Rob Marshall, Sofia Coppola, The Little Mermaid

by Jason Adams

I'm still traumatized (yes I know that's a strong word, but I need a strong word to get across the scope of the trauma) by the fact that we won't be getting Sofia Coppola's version of The Little Mermaid, so perhaps I'm not the best person to report this news, but here we are. Rob Marshall, the man who inflicted Nine upon the world, has according to Deadline been offered the gig of updating the Beloved Disney Classic to live-action. They say he will make up his mind over the holidays...

So let's pretend the comments are like our Letters To Santa, only they're Letters to Rob for him to read before he makes up his mind.

• What do you want him to consider over the holidays?
• Should he do it?
• Who should he cast? (Good luck finding an Ursula, dude.)
• And could any human man ever be as dreamy as Prince Eric? (The answer to that last one is obviously nope.)

Let it rip, folks...
