Disney news site The Little Mermaid." They said she was most likely being considered for Ursula.

They couldn't confirm anything -- and it definitely sounds like it's too early for Gaga to be in "talks," etc. -- but just floating the rumor could build enough interest on its own. Lady Gaga is hot off "A Star Is Born," so it's believable enough to think another film might want to be her next musical project.

So far, all we have for "The Little Mermaid" cast are rumors -- including that Zendaya may play Ariel.

According to Lin-Manuel Miranda are composing music for the film, which will add some new songs.

Disney is churning out new live-action remakes every few months. In the next year, we'll see "Dumbo," "Aladdin," and "The Lion King" on the big screen, also just announced.

Disney has yet to set a release date for this "Little Mermaid" remake, and we're on standby for any official information.
