"Lilo & Stitch," a fun, touching family film about a fugitive alien that befriends a Hawaiian girl, is finally getting the live-action treatment.

The trailer seems to suggest that the live-action movie will be a replica of the original film with a few minor changes, instead of a new take on the story like 2025's "Snow White."

The original Stitch voice actor, Chris Sanders, will return, while Maia Kealoha plays Lilo, Sydney Elizabeth Agudong plays Lilo's sister, Nani, and Kaipo Dudoit plays Nani's love interest, David Kawena.

Tia Carrere, the original voice actor of Nani, also stars in the film alongside Billy Magnussen, Hannah Waddingham, Courtney B. Vance, and Zach Galifianakis.

But this time, there will be a four-way body switch between Tess, Anna, Anna's daughter (Julia Butters), and Anna's soon-to-be stepdaughter (Sophia Hammons). "The Good Place" star Manny Jacinto will play Lohan's fiancé.

Chad Michael Murray, who played bad boy Jake in the first movie, is reprising his role alongside Mark Harmon, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Rosalind Chao. "Never Have I Ever" actor Maitreyi Ramakrishnan will also star in the film.
