Charlie Bean to direct live-action 'Lady and the Tramp'

March 20 (UPI) -- Filmmaker Charlie Bean, who recently helmed The Lego Ninjago Movie, will direct Disney's upcoming live-action adaptation of Lady and the Tramp.

The film will be Bean's first live-action work and will appear on Disney's upcoming streaming service that is set to launch in 2019, Deadline reported.
