Disney Creating a 'Nutcracker' Film
The classic "Nutcracker" tale is going to be adapted into a Walt Disney Picture film.
Most people know the "Nutcracker" from the famous ballet adaptation. The story follows a young girl named Clara who receives the gift of a Nutcracker doll from her godfather (or in some stories her Uncle). When she goes to bed, she is in the middle of a whimsical world where mice battle gingerbread soldiers.
The film will be based on E.T.A Hoffman's "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," Ashleigh Powell will be writing the script for the film.
Lasse Holstrom will be directing, Mark Gordon will be producing, and Lilly Goldstein is executive producing.
Sam Dickerman and Allison Erlikhman will be overseeing the project for Disney.
Genuinely surprised it has been this long for a Disney 'Nutcracker' adaptation.
