Director Rob Marshall recalls how blown away he was by Halle Bailey’s Ariel audition for his upcoming Little Mermaid live-action remake.
The Little Mermaid director Rob Marshall relives Halle Bailey's breathtaking audition for Ariel, revealing that she was the very first actor they saw for the part. Serving as a live-action adaptation of Disney's 1989 animated movie , The Little Mermaid follows Ariel as she trades her beautiful voice for human legs so that she can discover life on land. The film is the latest in a long line of Disney live-action remakes of their animated classics.
“[Producer] John DeLuca and I were watching [Bailey’s performance at the 2019 Grammys] , and I said, ‘John, who is that? She looks like an angel. I mean, Halle’s so beautiful, but she also has an otherworldly sensibility. This was so important for a character that’s a mermaid and a teenage girl, who has to have this combination of strength, passion and courage, as well as a kind of naivety and innocence.
“Can she hold the film? Can she act with Javier Bardem [King Triton] and Melissa McCarthy [Ursula]? But every time she came in, when she read, she got more confidence. She understood nuance, she understood truth and she showed all of those wonderful colours that Ariel needs. We started to see other people. Many other people, hundreds of other people, but the bar had already been set. And no one ever surpassed that bar.
