We’re ready to go under the sea for Disney’s live-action “The Little Mermaid” movie. The film was first announced back in 2016, and details about the project have been trickling in ever since. In July 2019, it was announced that actress and singer Halle Bailey, who is one part of the R&B duo Chloe x Halle, would be playing the title character. After production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, filming officially kicked off in early 2021 and eventually wrapped in July. During the 2022 Oscars, Bailey confirmed that her version of Ariel does in fact sing the iconic song “Part of Your World” in the project.
