Cailee Spaeny Almost Starred In Sofia Coppola’s ‘The Little Mermaid’
Cailee Spaeny revealed her first collaboration with Sofia Coppola was an eventually scrapped version of The Little Mermaid.
In 2017, Spaeny and Coppola crossed paths again, when the actress auditioned for The Beguiled, a period drama starring Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Colin Farrell and Elle Fanning. Spaeny, who will be in the second season of Netflix’s Beef, was filming Civil War alongside frequent Coppola collaborator Dunst at the time she got the call. In 2014, Coppola was developing a live-action Little Mermaid with Universal and Working Title, with the project being based on the “much darker” original fairy tale, as opposed to the light-hearted Disney version.
