Filming on Disney’s live-action The Little Mermaid is underway in Sardinia. Production is under tight security but that didn’t stop paparazzi from snapping the first photos of Halle Bailey and Jonah Hauer-King on set.
no I’m not gonna pretend like I know where these images originated from, but I’m gonna give credit to the Instagram account @littlemermaidliveaction. They were the first ones to share the images from what I saw. In the images we can see Halle Bailey and her special effects suit for her role as a role as Ariel, which looks to be a scene in which she saves Hauer-King’s Eric. This is some thing taken directly from the 1989 animated film.
