Lasse Hallstrom to Direct Disney’s ‘THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS’
The classic Christmas tale of the Nutcracker is coming to the big screen again.
This time around—Walt Disney Pictures is set to adapt THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS into a live-action movie with Lass Hallstrom in the director’s chair.
Hallstrom has a good resume with THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY, SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN, DEAR JOHN, and CASANOVA.
The classic ballet story by E.T.A. Hoffman follows a young girl who was given a nutcracker as a Christmas present. The nutcracker came to life as he takes the young girl into a faraway land to battle the evil Mouse King.
Ashleigh Powell is currently writing the script.
