On March 23, Disney is bringing back its hit adventure moana as a live action movie. Dwayne Johnson returns as the demigod Maui rocking those signature tattoos in the new full trailer. He looks plenty strong for the role, keeping the spirit of the original animated character alive. This remake arrives just 10 years after the first animated film and two years following the sequel. The trailer sticks close to the cartoon style, right down to the fun sidekicks tagging along for the ride. The project reunites talent from Hamilton, featuring songs by Lynn Manuel Miranda, and Direction from Thomas Kale. Cafferent La Gaia takes on the lead as Moana, with the original voice actress serving as an executive producer. The plot follows Moana as she ventures past her island reef, with Maui on a quest to restore good fortunes to her people. Details like that keep the heart of the story intact. Mark your calendars for July 10th, when this fresh take sales into theaters, ready to hook a new generation of viewers.
