Lady and the Tramp is an upcoming American romance film directed by Charlie Bean from a screenplay by Andrew Bujalski. The film is a live-action adaptation of Walt Disney’s 1955 animated film of the same name. It is set to be released exclusively on November 12, 2019 on Disney+.

The film stars Tessa Thompson and Justin Theroux as the voices of the titular characters with Kiersey Clemons, Thomas Mann, Yvette Nicole Brown, Adrian Martinez and Arturo Castro in live-action roles. Sam Elliott, Ashley Jensen, Benedict Wong and Janelle Monáe also fill out the rest of the voice cast. The film will be dedicated to Chris Reccardi, a storyboard artist who died on May 2, 2019 of a heart attack.

Premise

Lady and the Tramp is set to tell the story of "an upper-middle-class American cocker spaniel named Lady (Tessa Thompson) who meets a streetsmart, downtown stray mongrel called the Tramp (Justin Theroux), and the two embark on many romantic adventures including the iconic spaghetti kissing scene."[2]

Cast

Voices

New versions of the Siamese Cats are also set to appear in the film, though the characters won't be depicted as Siamese due to their perceived racial stereotyping.[3]

Production

Development

On February 8, 2018, it was announced that Walt Disney Pictures was developing a live action remake of the 1955 animated film Lady and the Tramp. The film was expected to premiere on the then-unnamed upcoming streaming service that was set to launch in the fall of 2019.[4] On March 19, 2018, it was announced that film was set to be directed by Charlie Bean from a screenplay by Andrew Bujalski with Brigham Taylor serving as a producer.[5]

Casting

In July 2018, it was announced that Ashley Jensen, Justin Theroux, and Sam Elliott had been cast in the voice roles of Jackie, Tramp, and Trusty, respectively. Additionally, it was reported that Kiersey Clemons was in talks for the live-action role of Darling, Lady's human owner.[2][6][7][8] In August 2018, it was reported that Tessa Thompson and Benedict Wong had been cast in the voice roles of Lady and Bull, respectively, and that Thomas Mann had been cast in the live-action role of Jim Dear.[9][10] In September 2018, it was announced that Yvette Nicole Brown and Adrian Martinez had been cast in the live-action roles of Aunt Sarah and the dog-catcher Elliot, respectively.[11][12] In October 2018, it was announced Arturo Castro had been cast in the live-action role of Marco and that Janelle Monáe had been cast in the voice role of Peg.[13][14]

The production utilized real dogs to portray the film's titular characters with a dog named Rose portraying Lady in the film. About three months prior to the start of filming, the animals started their training for the film.[15] Tramp is physically portrayed by Monte, a rescue dog, while Jackie was renamed Jock shortly before filming began.[16]

Filming

Voice work for the film was scheduled to begin in July 2018[17] with principal photography of the film's live-action externally filmed portions were expected to last from September 10, 2018 to November 7, 2018 in Savannah, Georgia. Locations were set to include Johnson Square and Wright Square.[18][19] Filming on an indoor soundstage took place through December 2018.[20]

Music

The film will feature a new version of "The Siamese Cat Song", performed by Janelle Monáe.[3] The song will be re-written by Nate "Rocket" Wonder, Roman GianArthur, and Monáe due to both its modern-day perceived racist connotations and to fit the characters' depictions in the film.[3] Monáe will also perform two new songs for the film.[3]

Release

It is scheduled to be released on November 12, 2019, exclusively on Disney+.[21]
