==Production==
===Development===
A live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch was first reported in October 3, 2018, to be under development at Walt Disney Pictures, with Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich of production studio Rideback producing, and Mike Van Waes writing the film's script.
On November 13, 2020, it was reported that Jon M. Chu was in talks to direct the film, while Disney was looking for a new writer to re-write Van Waes's script. However, it was later reported in May 2021 that Chu decided to leave production to focus on his film adaptations of Wicked and China Rich Girlfriend.
On July 14, 2022, Deadline reported that Dean Fleischer Camp will be the film's director, while Chris Kekaniokalani Bright was negotiating with Disney to rewrite the script.
On March 1, 2023, it was reported that the working title for the film is "Bad Dog".
Kahiau Machado was supposed to play David Kawena but was quickly replaced with Kaipo Dudoit.
===Filming===
Principal photography was slated to start in Oahu, Hawaii on March 13, 2023, and finish on June 16. However, the first day of filming was later delayed to April 17, but was shortly postponed due to a fire. Filming eventually began on May 1, when a portion of a road in Hawaii was closed for the film's production.
==Release==
The DisInsider reported on February 4, 2020, that the film will be a streaming release through Disney+. However, Variety and The Hollywood Reporter contradicted this in November 2020, saying that Disney has yet to decide on either a theatrical or streaming release. The release format remained unclear until November 2022, when it was revealed via a casting call that the film will be released via Disney+.
