A live-action Moana movie adaptation is in the works starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Maui, the same character he played in the 2016 animated flick.
The action superstar announced the Moana live-action movie in a pre-recorded video from O'ahu, home to Hawaii's state capital, Honolulu. The island takes the spotlight in the announcement video, as does "the spirit" of Johnson's grandfather, both of which served as inspirations for the original Moana and the upcoming live-action film.
