If she decides to accurately follow the Hans Christian Andersen tale, the film will be a far cry from the Disney version - the original story sees a young mermaid drink a magic potion that will give her human legs so that she can pursue a prince. The potion enables her to dance beautifully, although it causes her great pain. Unfortunately for the mermaid, the prince loves to see her dance and she does so until her feet bleed. Things get even worse - the prince then marries someone else. The mermaid is told that the spell will be reversed if she kills the prince in his sleep, but she loves him too much to harm him and ends up throwing herself into the sea and is turned into a spirit.
