Equipe de Mulan relembra data de estreia do live-action

Live-action que chegaria aos cinemas na última semana foi adiado por causa do coronavírus

Mulan, o live-action da animação em 1998, deveria ter chegado aos cinemas do mundo todo na última semana. Porém, a epidemia do coronavírus causou o adiamento da produção, que agora não tem data de estreia definida. Para marcar a data original, a equipe do longa resolveu compartilhar memórias dos bastidores. A diretora Niki Caro iniciou um diário com as filmagens revelando as primeiras fotos da atriz Yifei Liu vestida como Mulan. Confira abaixo:

Hello All. Today should have been an amazing moment as we released the live action MULAN around the world. So until that day comes, I’ve resolved to share my journey as the director of this iconic story. I hope you enjoy my diary-in-reverse as I look back at at the glorious, and sometimes daunting experience of making the movie. Today I give you the first challenge I set myself. How to tell the story of a village girl who becomes a male soldier, then ultimately a warrior and a legend… This was a photo shoot I did with a single actress. It’s the same young woman in each frame. These were the first images the studio saw of my vision of Mulan. I’ll keep posting these memories until I can share the whole movie with you all. Until then, look after each other and stay safe 🌸 #mulan #disney #yifei_cc

“Olá a todos. Hoje deveria ter sido o incrível momento em que lançamos o live-action de Mulan pelo mundo. Então enquanto isso não acontece, resolvi compartilhar minha jornada como diretora dessa história icônica. Espero que aproveitem meu diário reverso enquanto relembro da gloriosa e às vezes assustadora experiência de fazer este filme. Hoje lhes revelo o primeiro desafio que dei a mim mesma. Como contar a história de uma garota que se torna um soldado homem, uma guerreira em definitivo e uma lenda… Essa foi a foto que tirei com uma única atriz. É a mesma mulher em cada frame. Essas foram as primeiras imagens que o estúdio viu da minha visão de Mulan. Continuarei postando essas memórias até poder compartilhar todo o filme com todos vocês. Até lá cuidem-se e fiquem a salvo.”

Já Jimmy Wong, que viverá o soldado Ling, revelou uma foto dos bastidores em que os membros do exército se divertem ao lado da protagonista. Veja:

Today, March 27, was supposed to be the release date of the new live-action remake of Mulan. I had been looking forward to and working towards this day for 2+ years, so to be standing here today in such different circumstances brings a tidal wave of emotions. My birthday is tomorrow, and the original release date once felt like divine serendipity, but looking now at the situation, I am eternally grateful for the hidden gift that this delay revealed. Now, more than ever, we humans must look to each other for kinship, support, companionship. It is nothing short of a miracle that all of the important lessons I learned while making Mulan are being given the chance to be shared, even without it being released. I want this delay to elevate what is truly important in this day and age- that to win any war against an enemy, we must work together, learn from each other, and fight it as a collective unit. I’ve always loved movies because they have the power to send a universal message and to unite a world. This year, I learned that a disease has the potential to do that exact same thing. Let us join together and support our medical professionals, volunteers, and essential services workers that are the backbone of our civilization. Without them, we would be lost. So while many of us may feel helpless to fight this virus from the comfort of our isolation, it does not mean we cannot contribute. Send words, prayers, blessings, encouragement, and support to the people who are out there fighting on our behalf. Stay socially distant, smart, and careful so we do not needlessly endanger others through our actions. Breathe in, breathe out, and learn to love a little more each day. AND for those still reading to this point, we’ll be celebrating Mulan TONIGHT by watching the original animated version and livetweeting alongside it. Join my stream at twitch.tv/jfwong and use your favorite streaming platform to join in tonight, starting at 7PM PDT.
