THE LITTLE MERMAID (2023): New Trailer Starring Mike Markoff, Lydia Helen, Jeff Denton…

8 Comments

An archaeologist named Dr. Eric Prince is at the centre of a new Leigh Scott-directed horror re-telling of The Little Mermaid story. While working on a small Caribbean island, he encounters the beautiful Aurora Bey.

Lydia Helen, Jeff Denton and Mike Markoff are among the key cast.

The smile-inducing naming of the doctor aside, I would love to see a high-quality, darker version of Disney’s/Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid story, even if it has to be a horror movie.

Still, something tells me this new version is unlikely to meet all my needs. Yet, I remain curious, partly because I’m drawn in by the sinister quality in Bey’s facial expressions.

What are your thoughts about the new The Little Mermaid movie?

Sean-Michael Argo, Winston Crooke, Wayne Gordon, Manon Laurent, Leigh Scott, Samuel Selman and Dwayne Strawn also star.

The Little Mermaid Release Dates: December 17th, 2024 (US)…

Before you get too excited, this new trailer for The Little Mermaid is based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale and not the better-known Disney film of the same name.

Starring Shirley MacLaine, William Moseley, Gina Gershon, Poppy Drayton, and directed by Chris Bouchard and Blake Harris, this story centres around a little girl and her young uncle’s discovery of an enchanting creature they believe to be a real mermaid.

I’m a fan of the Disney film, and my reason for watching this version would be that I’m curious about the original Hans Christian Andersen story.

Call it a hunch, but the look and feel of this trailer tells me I may end up missing the ‘glossy finish’ afforded by a Disney budget. How nice it would be for me to be proved so very, very wrong.

Will you be watching The Little Mermaid? If not, you may already know that a live-action version of the Disney film is coming. There’s just no release date yet since they’re still in pre-production. Though I’m quite sure that it definitely won’t be here in 2017.

The Little Mermaid Release Dates: August 17th, 2018 (US)…
