Dwayne Johnson and Zendaya take on the roles of Maui and Moana in a fanmade trailer for a live-action version of the popular Disney animated film, Moana. Released in 2016, the animated film received both critical acclaim and commercial success, earning two Academy Award nominations. Set in Ancient Polynesia, the story follows Moana's journey to return a mystical stone to the goddess Te Fiti in order to save her village from destruction. In the original film, Auli’i Cravalho voiced Moana, while Johnson brought the character of Maui to life, a demigod who stole the artifact known as The Heart of Te Fiti. Cinematic Pro Studio presents their concept trailer for the live-action adaptation, featuring Johnson and Zendaya in the lead roles. Watch the video below:

In addition to its casting choices, the fanmade Moana trailer incorporates sounds from the animated film, as well as clips that depict expansive water and the island of Motunui.

What A Live-Action Moana Film Could Look Like

In April, it was announced that there would be a live-action adaptation of the film Moana, in which Johnson will reprise his role as Maui. The actor confirmed that the new film will incorporate various elements from the original, possibly including characters like HeiHei, Pua, and others. Considering the tremendous popularity of its songs, particularly "How Far I'll Go" and "You're Welcome," it raises the question of whether any new musical compositions will also be introduced, following in the footsteps of previous Disney live-action remakes.

In terms of the casting for Moana, Cravalho will not be reprising her role, which has sparked speculation about who will take on the lead role in the film. While Zendaya was featured in the trailer and has been discussed among fans, the studio also has the option to cast a lesser-known talent for the part. However, due to delays and cancellations caused by the recent SAG-AFTRA strike, it may be some time before there are any further updates.

It will be intriguing to see who else joins the cast officially, particularly for the title role. Fans of Moana are likely eager to learn this information as soon as possible. The fanmade trailer for Disney's live-action adaptation may provide some ideas and generate significant attention, given the high levels of excitement surrounding these remakes.
