‘Mulan’ is getting a remake. Walt Disney Pictures has booked ‘Mulan’ as their next animated character for cinematic representation. Chris Bender and J.C. Pink will produce the project, while Elizabeth Martin and Lauren Hynek are set to write the screenplay.

The Chinese legend of Hua Mulan centers on a young lady who disguises herself as a man so she can join the army and fight in a war. The original animated ‘Mulan’ was released in 1998 and also earned the massive business of $304.3 million worldwide. The movie also received several Academy Awards and Golden Globe nominations. No casting details or release date has been announced as yet. The film’s production is expected to begin later this year.
