Maia Kealoha is becoming even more of a Disney star.
Kealoha made her film debut as Lilo in Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch movie, which was a box office smash hit that grossed $1.038 billion worldwide. With a 73% critics’ score and “Verified Hot” 91% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, the remake was also well-received, and a live-action sequel, Lilo & Stitch 2, is now in production, set to build off the success of its lucrative predecessor.
Deadline now reports Kealoha has been cast in another Disney movie, this time in the lead role for Stolen Wishes, which will be written and directed by Joe Nussbaum. The film’s plot is being kept under wraps and Disney declined to comment on the project. Allen Fischer is producing for Artists First, while Amalea Chininis serves as an executive producer.
More to come…
