Sony are planning to revamp Hans Christian Andersons' story 'The Little Mermaid', however the writer/director of 'Country Strong' Shana Feste who has been chosen to take up the duties of adapting this story for the cinema screen, she hasn't gone strictly back to the Anderson story but has taken a more darker edge to the story for the cinema screen as apparently Shana has drawn on Carolyn Turgeon's book 'Mermaid:A Twist on the Classic Tale'.
The story behind this film will be that a princess whose kingdom is being slowly destroyed by a mortal force tries to marry the prince of the enemy kingdom in a dangerous attempt to make peace, but she then discovers a beautiful mermaid has fallen for him and she has given up everything in order to be with him.
This isn't the only revamping of a traditional fairytale that Shana has worked on. In the past she has done 'Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story' that she wrote.
