Walt Disney Studios is currently ramping up production for “Moana” which will be a live-action remake of the 2016 animated movie with the same title.
So far, Dwayne Johnson (“The Rock”) will be starring, but allegedly Zendaya will not be cast in the film.
“The new feature film is produced by Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia via their Seven Bucks Productions, and Beau Flynn via Flynn Picture Co.”
Currently an open casting call has been posted for Pacific Islander/Pasifika actors who are strong singers (no acting experience required).
“Moana” will likely be harder to get into due to the filming location in Hawaii, but if you live in the area or have the freedom and means to travel, then keep reading for background actor/extra casting information…

From this video below, it seems as if some of the filming locations will be in Oahu and Maui. But surely, they’ll film on other islands such as Kauai.
