Talk:In the Middle of the River/@comment-26536288-20181125031923

I think this would be good for a live action remake of Pocahontas. I also think Stephen Schwartz would help Alan Menken write new material for the film. For the opening Disney logo, we would pan down to the London town with a Castle to go with it as we transition into the film. Here are some actors I have in mind:

Vanessa Hudgens as Pocahontas

Robert Pattinson as John Smith

Hugh Jackman as Governor Ratcliffe

Josh Gad as Wiggins

Chaske Spencer as Kokoum

Naomi Scott as Nakoma

Michael Cera as Thomas

Ben Whishaw as Benlon (a combination of the two characters Ben and Lon)

Johnny Depp as Chief Powhaton

With Nick Jonas as Keketa

And Rosario Dawson as the motion capture and voice of Grandmother Willow

And the songs will be the songs featured in the film (Including the 10th Anniversary song If I Never Knew You and the two abandoned concept songs Dancing to the Wedding Drum and this) and a new song. Here's how I see a songlist for a live-action Pocahontas:

1. The Virginia Company

2 and 3. Steady as the Beating Drum and its reprise

4. Just Around the Riverbend

5. Listen With Your Heart

6. Dancing to the Wedding Drum

7. Mine, Mine, Mine

8. Colors of the Wind

9. Listen With Your Heart reprise

10. In the Middle of the River

11. If I Never Knew You

12. Savages

13. Try to Live as One (Idea for the new song to make it oscar worthy)

14. Finale with reprises of If I Never Knew You and Colors of the Wind

(End Credits Songs)

15. Try to Live as One (sung by [ideally] Vanessa Williams returning for this one)

16. Colors of the Wind (sung by [ideally] Lady Gaga)

17. If I Never Knew You (sung by [ideally] Justin Bieber and Demi Lovato)

What do you think? Does this sound like a fantastic idea?
