Although it pings on the information radar infrequently, there was little or no concrete improvement on a 3rd The Princess Diaries movie. And the demise of Garry Marshall, who directed each the 2001 unique and its 2004 sequel, subtitled Royal Engagement took the wind much more out of its sails. But Disney – which noticed the primary two movies earn greater than $300 million collectively on the field workplace and construct a giant fanbase — isn’t able to let go of Genovia. In accordance with The Hollywood Reporter, the items are slowly falling into place for a 3rd film.
For many who would possibly in some way be unaware, the Princess Diaries movies adapt Meg Cabot’s novel sequence, and concentrate on Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway), a gawky San Francisco teenager who discovers that her late father was Crown Prince of a small European nation known as Genovia.
Grandmother Queen Clarisse Renaldi (Julie Andrews) makes an attempt to show Mia from misfit to suit for the throne, although it will not be a straightforward journey for both of them. The sequel, in the meantime, had Mia dealing with a problem to her declare from the household of Nicholas Devereaux (Chris Pine), although they ended up falling for one another.
Proper now, the movie is at an early stage, with Diaries veteran producer Debra Martin Chase aboard and Godmothered author Melissa Stack as an government producers. Precise scripting duties are at present within the arms of Aadrita Mukerji, who has labored on reveals reminiscent of Supergirl and Reacher.
Hathaway doesn’t have an official deal to return, although she has repeatedly mentioned that she’d fortunately reprise the position (assuming, in fact, she likes the screenplay). And whereas Andrews has been extra proof against the concept, there’s nonetheless an opportunity she’ll be again if this one comes collectively. And if neither return? Reboot! It is unlikely at this level although, as the present plan is to proceed the story.
