Disney offered the first-ever look at Lasse Hallström’s “Nutcracker and the Four Realms” on Saturday at the studio’s live-action movie preview at the D23 Expo in Anaheim.
The studio also booked a November 2, 2018 release date for the film — a date previously reserved for a live-action adaptation of “Mulan” that has yet to begin production.
“Nutcracker and the Four Realms,” based on the classic “Nutcracker” Christmas tale written two centuries ago by E.T.A. Hoffman, stars Mackenzie Foy as Clara, a girl who receives the titular Nutcracker toy and is asked to take special care of it.
