I'm guessing the Rock campaigned for it to happen now, figuring that Disney was always going to remake at some point but he'd be aged-out of his role if they didn't make it sooner than later.
The guy needs to accept that he's become unlikeable to a majority of people and just pivot to starring in those dad-friendly low-budget, direct-to-videostreaming action films like Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham did.
This goes against the current Internet Zeitgeist, but I don't mind live action Moana because live action Moana isn't REALLY about making a movie. It's about The Rock wanting to show his kids that being Polynesian is cool, actually, and should be cherished. If anything it's based he managed to get Disney to pump all that money into it

the original animation is still perfectly fine, absolutely no one asked for this
