Niki Caro ( The Zookeeper ’s Wife ) will lead the live - natural action Mulan movie for Disney . That , as The Hollywood Reporterpoints out , will make her and Ava DuVerney ( for A Wrinkle in Time ) the only distaff directors for movies that have over $ 100 million in the budget .
It is nice that a big - budget tentpole film is get a cleaning lady behind the television camera , but it also mean that Disney ’s plan to have an Asian director fall through . The studio apartment consider Ang Lee ( who passed ) and Jiang Wen , but ultimately went with Caro .
Disney ’s still trying desperately to check that that this interlingual rendition of Mulan is as culturally sensitive as possible , trying to combat the haunting problem of Asiatic - set narrative being told by white people . One step they ’ve gone with is play on Bill Kong , a Hong Kong - ground manufacturer , to executive garden truck .
That said , we ’ll have to see how well the motion-picture show balances all these different issuance . It could be the first picture show to get all of this right field , or it could get nothing correct . Only time will severalize .
