Universal Pictures and Working Title Films are teaming up with acclaimed Academy Award winning director Sofia Coppola for an incredible new, live-action take on the all-time classic fairy tale The Little Mermaid. Hot on the heels of such recent adaptations as Maleficent, Alice In Wonderland and Snow White And The Huntsman, The Little Mermaid is set to bring the “under the sea” world to audiences around the world in a way that they have never imagined before and soon you could be a part of the magic.

Bored with sea life, Ariel becomes increasingly curious about humans and one day comes upon a human prince named Eric. When Ariel saves Prince Eric from a

violent storm he becomes equally smitten with her and makes it his mission to find her wherever she may be. Desperate to join the human world, Ariel makes a deal with Ursula the sea witch – Ariel will give her her beautiful singing voice for three days and in exchange for turn her into a human for that time, if Ariel does not receive the kiss of love from the prince then  she will turn back into a mermaid and and belong to the witch.

This tale of true love and romance above land and below the sea is loved by millions and now the story will once again be coming to theaters everywhere. The Little Mermaid will be directed by Coppola (Lost In Translation, Somewhere, The Bling Ring) from a script by Caroline Thompson (Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Snow White: The Fairest of Them All) and will be produced by 3-time Oscar nominee Tim Bevan (Les Misérables, Nanny McPhee, Fargo) and 4-time Oscar nominee Eric Fellner (Frost/Nixon, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Love Actually).

  1. Madalynn Haas

    My name is Madalynn Haas. I have loved The Little Mermaid my entire life. I own the movies on Blueray and numerous items with Ariel on them (even my shoes!). I have a very quirky personality and a light, sweet voice. Many people have even told me that I look just like Ariel. I love the beach and the ocean. I love sea creatures and I actually don’t eat fish. I was a soprano in chorus. This would literally be my dream come true. I honestly think that for this movie you’d need to cast a fresh new face. None of the current actresses seem to match both Ariel’s look and personality.
    Age: 19 but I look 16
    Hair color: Natural red hair (it’s goes past my bottom and is wavy just like Ariel’s!!)
    Height: 5’5″

    Thank you so much for your time and consideration! I’m sure whoever you pick will be excellent.

    The Little Mermaid encourages children to follow their dreams, taking risks along the way. Without taking meaningful risks, what is the point in life? I took the Little Mermaid for granted as a little child, but now as I grow older, I really have started to appreciate the meaning and moral behind the story. Disney did a beautiful job making the movie appealing to children while also teaching them important life stories. I would love to be a part of this revival of the amazing story.

  4. Sara Montgomery

    The Little Mermaid was a beautiful magical tale. I fell in love with the character when I was a little girl. Ariel is a bubbly, positive girl that had a dream. The songs Ariel sang made me light up. I would sing them for hours. It had a wonderful story line that made me wish I was a mermaid. I would love to be apart of this tale. I know everyone says it is their “dream”, but I am serious I would devote my time 110%. People say I have a bubbly, funny personality that brings joy to everyone in the room, my dimples bring a smile to everyone’s face. The experience I have is limited, but I promise you would love every ounce of me. I am the most down to earth girl, just like the little mermaid. I would brighten up faces of people of all ages because being the little mermaid, or any other character in the upcoming film would not be for me, but for people of all ages when the little mermaid brings joy to all their hearts. I would bring tremendous depth to a character by being myself even if it is a small part in the film.

    I would love to hear from you, so please consider! Thank you so much!

    Hi, I am Neringa Pacheco and I am 17 years old. I am half Lithuanian (speak fluently) and half Mexican (speak partially). I enjoy everything about Disney and one of my favorite songs is part of your world from The Little Mermaid! I always loved Disney since I was a little girl because it created a way to escape reality and into a magical world through imagination. I love to sing and act, my only experience is chorus, drama, and musicals at school. I would love to be part of the Disney family, thank you!

  7. Olivia Welch

    Hello! I’m Olivia and I’m 19 years old. I’ve been in several of my schools musical productions. My senior year I was Ariel in The Little Mermaid.

    I also have brown hair, blue eyes and I am 5’3.

  9. Elizabeth Herlihy

    In my life, I have gotten to experience living in different countries, learning about cultures and societies around the world, as well as the feelings of others around me, and I know I bring that into my acting. I have see and felt real loss, I have loved. I understand how each persons upbringing sets them up for how they react to their own world. And it is because of this that I love acting, I love becoming each different person and living many lives. So I know, given a chance, I will turn into an amazing actress. Having the chance to play Ariel would broaden my horizon as an actress, to be able to play a young girl so innocent, she doesn’t fully understand what she has to give up for love. I know I have much more to learn, but I look foreward to the hard work, and to have great teachers at my side.

    Hello! My name is Asia! I would be forever happy if I had the chance to play my absolute favorite disney princess! I have taken acting classes in highschool, and am motivated to do much more than just that. I enjoy learning and exploring new things and places, which is just one similarity, and then the rebellious as well. Haha. I’ve watched this movie countless of times and can do word for word, the movie itself along with the songs as well. I am completely dedicated and willing to do what it takes to make any changes to be the perfect Ariel. I can sing, have wonderful body language, and believe I have the qualities and skills to be exactly what she is. I was a a state swimmer, dancer, and have sung for quite a few events. All in all, i believe I could be exactly what is being looked for in this live action movie. Criticism to do, and to be better is expected and would be taken completely seriously.
    Age: 20 but do look as if I’m 16 lol
    Height: 5′ 3

    To add on to my last comment- I’ve been singing since I was very young. I’ve gone to numerous competitions on the state level and have recieved a superior rating. I’m also a college level artist, as I’ve been completely infatuated by the Arts since I was very young.

  24. Bethany Schroeder

    Hello! I’m Bethany- I’m 17 years old. I’ve been in love with the Little Mermaid ever since I first watched it. My hair has been dyed bright red for around half of a year due to my love for this Disney classic. I have a musical theatre voice- and I’ve been complimented many times on my ability to sound like Ariel whilst performing the music from the movie. Having any opportunity to audition for this role would truly be a dream come true!! I’ve been in love with the thought of starring as Ariel in any circumstance that would be given to me. Many of my friends, family, and even strangers have commented on my likeness to Ariel and my personality which also helps me get into character as her! I hope you would take me into consideration, thank you!

  27. Lauren McClure

    I’ve always enjoyed Disney movies and have dreamt about being in one of them since I was very young as well as being a mermaid. I know silly but I’ve always enjoyed “The Little Mermaid” and actually have the trilogy box set with all of the movies! I would love to be a part of this movie even if I was in the background as a mermaid that would be the most amazing experience ever!

  28. Malia Le'au

    Hey! My name is Malia. I’m hoping to get this role not only because I would love to be able to be in a film, but also because I have a deep personal connection to the movie. I grew up with the songs and even my vocal coach had Jodi Benson as a student. My name means “Lady of the Sea” so I guess this is why I have such a love for water. I sadly cannot say I have an acting degree. I’m not as experienced as some others auditioning might be but, I grew up on the stage. I know a lot of useful tips is what I mean. I have done a performing arts camp in Burbank Claifornia for 8 years. It would be an honor to be picked for this role. And it would make me feel worth something after all the years of things I’ve been through. If given the role, I would put everything I had into the part and pour my heart and soul into everything I did. Thank you for the consideration. (Btw I’m a really good singer)

  30. Megan Maheshwari

    When I was in the first grade, my teacher went around the classroom and asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. My answer was the same as it had always been: “I want to be a mermaid!” My teacher sneered at me, “You can’t be a mermaid because mermaids don’t exist,” and the whole class laughed at me. My answer still hasn’t changed. The Little Mermaid was my very first favorite film. It was the first movie that I learned all of the songs for. It was the first movie that I learned flute music for. And it was the first movie that I watched in French, Spanish, and Chinese. This movie holds a special place in my heart, and playing any role would be a dream come true.

  32. Rebecca

    When you’re told for years that you have “mermaid hair,” you don’t just pass up the chance to be in a movie about mermaids. Honestly, bringing the character of Ariel to life would be incredible, but I would even be okay with playing one of her sisters if it meant I could play a mermaid. I’ve been acting pretty much my whole life, but I didn’t do any organized acting until I was 11. I have a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Delaware in Psychology, but I minored in Theater Performance. UD has a well-renowned theater circle, and I had the pleasure of learning under some incredible people. This would be amazing. I, like most 90s kids in America, grew up on Disney, so being involved in a retelling of part of my childhood would be the opportunity of a lifetime.

  34. Amy Brown

    My name is Amy and I’m 26 years old from Minneapolis, MN. (I’m still mistaken, often enough, for a 20 year old.) I think everyone would want to be “part of your world” in the making of this movie. I studied theater in college and currently plan to return to school after taking a break. As I’m not a BFA major I’m expected to find specific training on my own, and I am planning to take vocal lessons with Melissa Hart. Being in this project would not only give an opportunity for me, but it would also give cast and crew members someone serious to work with. I’ve done a few small ensemble roles in theater but take everything in and learn from observing. I’ve been described as either alto or “lyrical soprano.” I don’t know if you’d cast an unknown for Ariel, but being a mermaid in general would be cool. (But who wouldn’t want to play Ariel, I wouldn’t mind that one bit!) I’m a big fan of the original version by Hans Christian Anderson, but the Disney version is also wonderful to me. Here are my physical description details:

  41. Sarah Leakey

    Hello,
    My name is Sarah Leakey, I’m 19 years old, but about to turn 20 in late May. Before explaining my reason for wanting the part of Ariel I have to tell you a about myself. I have long and unique story of who I am and what I have done, that has led me to this wonderful opportunity to share my talents to the world. To begin, I have to tell you a bit about myself, starting from where I was born. In that case, Chelyabinsk, Siberia, Russia would be the exact location that I found my 2 year old self in the orphanage singing, dancing and playing the piano. The fact is that preforming, has been a part of my life forever and has stuck to this day.
    From moving to the states with my new family I continued to dance, sing and preform in general. I found myself at auditions at a very young age, from the preforming arts schools that I went to Elementary through High School. It wasn’t until I was 9 that I auditioned for my first musical (Anastasia) and was casted as the lead, to realize my love for Musical Theatre. My mother then enrolled me into a Community Theatre. Cocoa Village Playhouse has be a second or third home, not to mention that I had continued taking ballet from a Russian Academy as well. Not much has changed, other than improvement in my skills and a great appreciation and love for the Preforming Arts. In Middle School I was excepted into the (ABT) American Ballet Theatre program at a conservatory on the other side of the county and so my growth in dancing grew even more. However I unexpectedly had to move the summer before my Senior year to a small town in PA (Ambler). There I was able to share my talents with a new audience and just happened to be close to the best place to see the pros.
    After graduating last year, I went on to a local community college to work as a Lifeguard and Water Safety Instructor (WSI), while still being a student. I fortunately was hired to choreograph my High Schools spring musical The Little Mermaid. From this experience i have fallen in love with the show once again from being a 10 year old and seeing it on Broadway from my first time.
    In all The Little Mermaid has always been a “part of my world” and I wish to take it to the next level in being a part of a chance of a lifetime. The reason for me wanting this job, would be mainly to financially support myself, as I am a College student, but also to share my love for this musical and others like it. I also Just so happen to be a Strawberry blonde with a similar hairstyle of Ariel’s. Also I have classical training in opera and musical theatre as well. I am known to be a Soprano, but can sing the notes of a Mezzo and Alto.

    Thank you for your time and please contact me for more information.

  43. Vanessa

    My name is vanessa. The little mermaid is my all time favorite movie. I use to watch it every day and I connected deeply with it. From my dad resembling king triton with his white hair and white mustache. Me and my mother had lots of difficulty living together, she was over weight and was basicly my Ursula. We had two Siamese cats…Romeo was mine he was like my flounder, my only true best friend, he was always there for me when I was sad and needed a friend. I was very misunderstood growing up, we moved a lot so I had no stable/real friends or family in my life, I lived most my life in São Paulo, Brazil. I am currently living in Texas. My boyfriend that I have been with since I moved here from Brazil since I was 17 is of a different race and my dad did not agree and did not want me to be with him. But later after getting to know him and finally realizing I wasn’t going to leave him. They now get along and my dad loves him. In my own little way I lived that little mermaid story and still to this day when I watch it I still feel connected and it comforts me 🙂
    I have modeled in nearby fashion events, I am currently a promo model, and I have been in a few plays. If any pictures or info needed feel free to contact me 🙂

  54. Bethany

    Hello, my name is Bethany. I thought I’d leave a comment of my own, after having read so many above. It would seem everyone wants “scouts” to know what they look like and what talents they have and how much they loooove the movie “the little mermaid”. I also loved that movie. And I would also love to be apart of the making of that movie… But I would like to be apart of the making of many other films as I do love acting and entertaining. It is a wonderful opportunity to step outside of your very known world and become apart of another one. It is a chance to make someone smile, laugh, sit on the edge of their seat, or even cry. And even though I have no kind of special “trained” talents such as singing or playing instruments, or even have that much experience acting, I do have the wonderful ability and gift of making smile and laugh. And that’s how I want to be remembered. Not on my talents or my beauty, but on how I affected those around me. With that being said I am :
    Age: 25
    Height: 5ft 6.5 inches
    Build: Not perfect, nor will it ever be
    Facial Appearance: Unique and beautiful to all who know and love me
    Talents: far too many to list off 😉
    Tbank you to all who read this!! Have a great day!!

    Weight: 113
    Frame: petite
    Ethnicity: Caucasian
    Hair: dark brown; waist length(willing to dye it)
    Eyes: green/gray.
    Talent: Singing(8 years; soprano 1, soprano 2, and alto in choir), acting(1 year), playing piano(2 years) Dance(4 years)

    I have loved Disney ever since i could watch their films, the little mermaid, however, was always one of my favorites. I have almost all the songs memorized from watching it so much. I have been told by many people that I look like a Disney princess, probably because of my large eyes and my singing voice. I express a lot of my emotions both through my face and my voice and i may be over dramatic, which is probably why most people who meet me ask me if I am and/or have been in theater. I am extremely upbeat and outgoing, always ready to improve something. I have very good memorization skills and I learn extremely quickly. I love Ariel’s ambition and the fact that she is a bit of a dare devil, forever curious and always ready to try new things. Her determination to prove herself to prince Eric is amazing and worth it, since they end up married in the end. I have grown up with Disney, Idolizing the princesses when i was younger and I would be honored to be a part of this production. I sincerely can’t wait to hear back from you!

    thanks

I have no accent, since I`ve spent some time living abroad and I’ve started speaking it when I was 3, so I consider english my mother language. I would love to be in this production because I believe in the magic of these movies. They bring happiness and inspiration all around the world. I am an huge fan of old and classic movies. From everything to Charles Chaplin, to Stanley Kubrick. From Quentin Tarantino to Ingmar Bergmann. I may seem one of many, but I have many other characteristics that differ me from everyone else.

    Age: 20
    Hair Color: brown (willing to change it. Even shave it, if necessary)

    Experience: I have been singing since I could talk, have taken professional lessons, and have performed in many school performances as well as the local theater.

    I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with Disney. I think I bring fantastic skills to the table as well as a positive attitude with a fresh face and new talent. I have loved The Little Mermaid for as long as I can remember, and have sang Part of this World many, MANY times. I have actually used that as part of my repertoire in vocal lessons and have specifically critiqued that song. I have grown up watching Disney all my life and more than anything would love to be a part of the team.

    I’ve loved the Little Mermaid since I was just a toddler who only made movies and television out to be little pixels and moving things. Since then, I have continuously watching all disney movies, particularly the Little Mermaid. I have always wanted to be in some sort of musical or movie involving mermaids. I’d be crazy to say that I’m a fan, because it’s probably bigger than that. I don’t have much experience in being on actual television, but I have musical, singing, theatre, and dancing experience. My goal is to become a professional actress, and starting out with something that I know a lot about and am interested in will definitely increase my performance. It’s also an advantage being that I’m already highly educated in this area. I believe that becoming a member of the cast will help me gain a lot of perspective on being in this type of career choice and help me become more confident and secure myself. Thank you for reading this!

    I can sing I just need a lot of practice but I can sing very well probably not as good as the professional Disney actor but I am a good singer and I am not lying if I sing at my own pitch I sound awesome. And I would love to be a mermaid even if its fake just the opportunity in being in a fish tale and looking like a mermaid just would make my day.

    The Little Mermaid was the first movie I saw at the cinema aged 5. I loved it then and even though it made my cry because as far as I could see, yes, Ariel got her man, but she would never see her father again… once I had got over Ariel’s error of judgement, I wouldn’t stop singing the songs, and teaching them to myself on the piano and violin. I’m certain it inspired my love for music and my drive to pursue music as a career. It still remains my favourite Disney movie of all time. It is awesome! Being a part of such an epic adventure would be a dream come true.

I am extremely outgoing and a very easy going person who has great memorization skills. I took drama in high school and did many plays, I also took acting classes when I was younger and was a extra in the American version of the show Skins.
