Sony is Making a Live Action Mulan, Too

TV director Alex Graves will direct Sony's Mulan movie. While most people know the story from the Disney animated film, but the original story predates by around 1500 years. Hua Mulan is a legendary figure in mythology, but the basic premise of a young woman pretending to be a man so that her father won't be conscripted remained intact.

Sony wants to do their own take on the story, and have hired Alex Graves to direct. Graves is best known for his work on television, directing six episodes of Game of Thrones and thirty four episodes of The West Wing.

This looks to be yet another live action film that will have to compete with a Disney live action adaptation. Unlike Disney, though, Sony's Mulan does have a director, which puts them one step ahead of their rival.
