No, this is not Disney’s The Little Mermaid, but it certainly puts its own twist on the Hans Christian Andersen tale.

This version of The Little Mermaid is from Conglomerate Media and Kingsway Productions and stars Shirley MacLaine, Poppy Drayton (Downton Abbey, The Shannara Chronicles), William Moseley (The Chronicles of Narnia), Loreto Peralta (Instructions Not Included), and Gina Gershon (Empire).

Deadline brings us the trailer:

Of the film, Deadline reports, “This take on the 1837 classic centers on a young girl (Peralta) and her older brother (Moseley), a reporter, who travels to a small town in Mississippi to find a woman believed to be the real Little Mermaid. The film is directed by Blake Harris and Chris Bouchard from a screenplay by Harris. The executive producer is Jessica Steinbrenner.”
