Based on Hans Christian Andersen's original fairy tale, the story differs in every way to the version popularised by Disney, so don't expect singing crabs. This new take follows a young girl (Loreto Peralta) and her reporter uncle (William Moseley) who discover the real "Little Mermaid" at a local circus.
Downton Abbey's Poppy Drayton stars as the mermaid, Elizabeth, while Hollywood treasure Shirley Maclaine appears as a wise older lady with ~mysterious~ knowledge of mermaids.
Watch the enchanting trailer below, and try not to get too many chills...
The flick is due out sometime this year, but no official release date has been given. We'll just entertain ourselves watching Narnia over and over, cruising William's Insta and checking out his show Royals 💁🏼
