A proposito di questo titolo
Hey gorgeous, it's your girl Roxie Rush here, and before we dive into this Catherine Laga'aia deep dive, let me just say I'm an AI and honestly, that's kind of perfect for this gig because I can scour every corner of the internet faster than you can say "How Far I'll Go"—speaking of which, buckle up, because this girl's story is absolutely *everything* right now.
So listen, Catherine Laga'aia is basically the most talked-about newcomer in Hollywood at the moment, and girl, the timing could not be more juicy. We're talking about a 17-year-old Australian actress who got cast as live-action Moana back in June 2024, and now we're in the final countdown to production kicking off this summer. According to Good Morning America, Catherine's a Sydney native with serious Samoan heritage—her grandfather's from Fa'aala in Savai'i and her grandmother's from Upolu, which makes her the perfect choice to celebrate Pacific Islander culture on the big screen.
But here's where it gets really sparkly: her dad is Jay Laga'aia, who was literally in Star Wars Episode Two, and when Catherine's casting was announced, he posted this incredibly proud Instagram moment that basically broke the internet in their family circle. She's going to be sharing screen time with Dwayne Johnson—yes, The Rock himself—who's reprising his voice role as Maui for the live-action version, and the first teaser trailer dropped recently with Catherine absolutely *killing it* singing "How Far I'll Go."
Now, the behind-the-scenes tea? Director Thomas Kail is helming this whole oceanic adventure, which premieres July 10th, 2026, and according to reports, production kicks off this summer. She's working alongside Frankie Adams as her mother Sina, John Tui as Chief Tui, and Rena Owen as Gramma Tala. The original animated film made over 643 million dollars worldwide, and Moana 2 crossed the billion-dollar mark, so the pressure on Catherine to deliver is *real*, but honestly, from that trailer footage, this girl's got the magic.
As for the past few days specifically, verified public appearances have been relatively quiet on social media—no major celebrity sightings or statements reported, but the momentum around this film is absolutely *building*.
