Joe Wright developing 'The Little Mermaid'

Director Joe Wright is working on a live-action adaptation of "The Little Mermaid." Working Title is backing the project, and Abi Morgan wrote the script based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale.

Screenwriter Morgan also wrote "Brick Lane," a film I admit I really enjoyed. Wright is basing his "Little Mermaid" version off a London puppet theatre production, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

I'm a big Wright fan, so I'm pretty confident he'll nail this one. He recently directed "The Soloist," and his previous credits include "Atonement" and "Pride & Prejudice." He's got "Hanna" coming soon.
