Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz will serve as producers on the new take which follows in the wake of multiple films, a stage musical production, a children’s cartoon TV series and a Marvel comic.
Tremblay will next will voice Flounder in Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of “The Little Mermaid” and voices one of the characters in Pixar’s “Luca”.
