Film giants over at Walt Disney Studios have given the people their very first look at the cast of the live action remake of ‘Lady and the Tramp’.
The upcoming adaptation is based on the 1955 animated movie of the same name and is set to be released exclusively on Disney+, the company’s new streaming service. And fans of the film might be delighted to know that the 2019 version will feature actual good boys and girls in the title roles - and not CGI dogs.
Disney gave social media users a glimpse at the two cute pups set to share that iconic spaghetti kiss in ‘Lady and the Tramp’.
The part of Lady is voiced by ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ star Tessa Thompson and will be played on screen by Rose, an adorable cocker spaniel with wonderful fluffy ears, just like her animated counterpart.
A terrier named Monte will be portraying Tramp in the flick and his voice will be provided by Justin Theroux. Monte has his own film-worthy back story, having been adopted by one of the film’s dog trainers after he was rescued from a kill-shelter in New Mexico.
The original movie follows pampered pooch Lady as her life is turned upside down when her owners Jim Dear and Darling decide to have a baby. Lady soon finds herself in a spot of trouble and is rescued by a stray dog named Tramp.
The pair begin to fall in love with one another, but Lady realises she must go back home to her family. Disaster strikes several more times, but ultimately a team of adorable dogs manage to come together to save the day.
Directed by Charlie Bean, the live action film will also feature a number of other big names, including Sam Elliot as Trusty, Ashley Jensen as Jock, Janelle Monáe as Peg and Benedict Wong as Bull.
The film will launch on Disney+ when the platform becomes available in the US on November 12. Mirror
