*Kiersey Clemons is reportedly in negotiations to take on a role in Disney’s live-action/CGI remake of “Lady and the Tramp.”
The “Extant” and “Transparent” alum would play Darling, the live-action owner of Lady, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Justin Theroux will voice the CGI’d Tramp, the streetwise mutt who tries to win over the pampered Cocker Spaniel after she ends up on the street once her owners have a baby. Ashley Jensen has also been cast to voice Scottish Terrier Jackie.
Charlie Bean (“The Lego Ninjago Movie”) is directing the remake, which is expected to debut on Disney’s upcoming digital streaming service launching in 2019. Andrew Bujalski wrote the script for the adaptation, and Jessica Virtue and Chaz Salembier are overseeing for Disney.
Clemons is currently in theaters with the Sundance indie “Hearts Beat Loud.” She is set to star in the Blumhouse feature “Sweetheart” from “Sleight” director J.D. Dillard.
