'The Little Mermaid' live-action trailer is here -- and it's extraordinary

Ariel who?

The first trailer for the upcoming "The Little Mermaid" premiered this week, and the deep-sea story is a totally different tale than what you've heard before. Instead of remaking the Disney classic, this flick draws from Hans Christian Anderson's original storyline.

As a result, there's no cute Flounder in sight -- but there is a cute guy in the form of William Moseley, who starred in "The Chronicles of Narnia" and is currently on E!'s "The Royals." He plays love interest Cam.

The film stars "Downton Abbey" alum Poppy Drayton as the little mermaid herself -- named Elizabeth, not Ariel -- as well as 12-year-old Loreto Peralta and Hollywood icon Shirley MacLaine.

"The Little Mermaid" hits theaters later this year.
