We Cast Sofia Coppola's Live-Action 'The Little Mermaid'

Today, Deadline reported that Sofia Coppola will direct the live-action version of Disney's classic The Little Mermaid. Though we're slightly suspicious about the whole live-action thing since, you know, half the cast won't have legs, we're big fans of Sofia Coppola so we're holding out hope that this won't be a total disaster/ruin the precious memory of one of our all-time favorite childhood movies.

Though rumors early this year said that Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe would be starring as Ariel and her land-based love interest, Eric, they seem to be more of the fan-fiction sort rather than stemming from hard evidence. So, to give Sofia Coppola a little help with this feat she's facing, we've cast the new film for her. Below are our picks for roles in the brilliant (we hope) live-action remake of The Little Mermaid:

Ariel: Amanda Seyfried

She has the hair! The voice!

Eric: Ian Somerhalder

If his hands are big enough.

Sebastian: Benedict Cumberbatch; Flounder: Seth Rogen

I think even as a five-year-old I pictured Sebastian as crabby, but hot.

Scuttle: Matthew McConaughey

He would basically play his Magic Mike character, just with feathers instead of a leopard g-string.

King Triton: Idris Elba

He would look great in a fish tail. He would look good in anything.

Ursala: Bette Midler

Hocus Pocus proved that Bette is like the best witch ever. Plus she sings.

Vanessa/the Human Ursala: Megan Fox

Because this just makes sense.

Meanwhile, if Seyfried isn't available, Rebel Wilson is great choice for the role of Ariel or any or all of her sisters/backup dancers/general merpeople.
