Disney Working on Live-Action Snow White Remake; Coronado Springs Convention Center Expanding?

Disney Working on Live-Action Snow White Remake:

Nothing is untouchable at Disney where they are re-making some of their animated classics into live-action films, this includes Snow White, their very first animated feature. "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is now in development for a live-action film. Erin Cressida Wilson (The Girl on the Train) is in talks to write the film and Benj Pasek and Justin Paul are attached to write new music for the film. Marc Platt, who is also working on Mary Poppins Returns for Disney, is scheduled to produce the film. 

The Hollywood Reporter first reported the news. It had this in the article on Snow White:

"Disney's original Snow White animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs came out in 1937. Based on the Brothers Grimm fairytale, Snow White was Disney's first animated feature film and a massive success for the studio. It won an honorary Oscar at the 11th Academy Awards and is considered one of, if not the most, successful animated films of all time."

 While no release date or even the plot of the film has been announced, Disney's next live-action remake to hit theaters will be another one of its animated classics in "Beauty and the Beast" starring Emma Watson as Belle. That film will hit theaters March 17, 2017. Disney has recently announced live-action re-makes of "The Lion King" which will be directed by Jon Favreau and "Aladdin" which Disney announced Guy Ritchie will direct.

Are you excited to see a Disney directed live-action remake of its first animated film in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."

Coronado Springs Convention Center Expanding?:

WDW News Today is reporting that Reedy Creek has filed permits that could be related to an expansion of Coronado Springs Resort's convention center. The application filed says there will be a new stormwater management pond and expansion of another pond to accommodate future additions within Coronado Springs. 

No further details were given although Disney has scheduled Coronado Springs to be under refurbishment beginning Fall 2016. The speculation behind the expansion is that expanding the already spacious convention center inside the resort will take pressure off the convention center at Disney's Contemporary Resort that Disney is rumored to be closing. 

Stay tuned for details.
