Billy Magnusson says you can't compare the live action remake to the original.
Lilo & Stitch is the latest beloved Disney animated film to get the live-action treatment following in the footsteps of Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Mulan, The Little Mermaid, and more and now, Billy Magnussen, who is set to play Pleakley in the upcoming film, is opening up about the film.
"I don't think you can compare pieces of art to each other," Magnussen said."I adored working with everyone in this. Rideback was the producing house making this film, and I did Aladdin with them. Again, it's a story about connection, and a kid trying to find a friend, and all you can do is approach a project like that with love. I am so grateful and honored to be a part of that project.
Who Stars in the Live-Action Lilo & Stitch?The live action Lilo & Stitch will star Mai Kealoha as Lilo, Magnussen as Pleakley, and Chris Sanders expected to return as the voice of Stitch. In addition to Kealoha and Sanders, Lilo & Stitch will star Sydney Elizebeth Agudong as Nani, Zach Galifianakis as Jumba, and Courtney B. Vance as Cobra Bubbles.
