( Source: The Hollywood Reporter) Beneath every placid surface and between each crashing wave, the movies’ most magical aquatic adventures portend the possibility of mermaids. Half-human, half-fish creatures swam onto the big screen at the turn of the 20th century, appearing in silent works such as Georges Méliès‘ 1904 short film “The Mermaid” and John G. Adolfi’s 1918 feature “Queen of the Sea” among others. The mythical archetype was subsequently reeled in as the effervescent love interest template for numerous ’30s and ’40s rom-coms, with the concept perfected in Irving Pichel’s well-loved talky “Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid,” starring Ann Blyth.

Oscar-winner Javier Bardem confirms he is in talks to play King Triton, and Disney confirms that Halle Bailey will star as Ariel. Both Jacob Tremblay and Awkwafina are in talks for voice-acting parts.

In this trailer, we get a glimpse of her face and hear her singing a portion of "Part of Your World." ( Source: Deadline) Disney releases Halle Bailey's full rendition of Ariel's legendary ballad "Part of Your World" on all music platforms. The song was originally sung by Jodi Benson in the 1989 film. ( Source: Entertainment Weekly) The female gaze is strong with this one, as director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum lingers over a shirtless Raymond and unabashedly embraces girl culture in a time that was notoriously disdainful of teen girls, especially if they tended to show desire. But Aquamarine has a surprisingly empowering message, as it encourages its characters to be uniquely themselves and emphasizes the powerful bond between the trio over traditional romantic love. Any list of mermaid films is bound to have at least one for all the hopeless romantics out there, and the French movie A Mermaid in Paris more than fits the bill, as two leads who have closed their hearts off to love find themselves opening up to each other.

3. “Splash” (1984)

Also known as “Mamula” or “Killer Mermaid,” this Serbian thriller follows friends Kelly (Kristina Klebe) and Lucy (Natalie Burn) on a vacation to Montenegro, where a siren-like creature with razor-sharp teeth awaits. There’s arguably too much going on in director Milan Todorovic’s 2014 nightmare, complete with a secondary antagonist weirdly reminiscent of “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” Still, this is the truest bluest mermaid slasher on the market, staking out essential territory for mythical monsters in the genre. Disney announce that all film production has been shut down or delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including The Little Mermaid.
