Briefly

Will Marielle Heller's FernGully Be the First Good Live-Action Adaptation?
"FernGully is scientifically the most 1992 kids' movie to ever exist. It stars Samantha Mathis, Christian Slater, Robin Williams, and Tim Curry, featuring an overwhelming environmentalist message."
"The idea of a live-action FernGully is already mind-boggling. How will it depict the villain Hexxus, who exists sort of as a ghost and sort of as an oily ooze?"
"Casting choices for Crysta, Zak, and especially Hexxus are crucial for introducing a new generation of children to the themes of the original film."
Amazon MGM Studios is creating a live-action version of FernGully: The Last Rainforest, directed by Marielle Heller. The original 1992 animated film featured notable actors and an environmentalist message. It included original songs by famous artists and was a staple for many children of that era. The adaptation raises questions about how to portray the villain Hexxus and the characters Crysta and Zak. Casting choices for these roles, especially Hexxus, are crucial for introducing the story to a new generation.
