## 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+.
