Following the success of their live-action film, Enchanted, Disney has decided to move forward and make another movie along the same lines. Apparently, they will tackle the character of Tinkerbell. So who would play her? Today, we get news of this…
Following the success of their last live-action princess movie, Enchanted, Disney has begun work on Tink, a non-animated film based around Peter Pan’s tiny sidekick. Elizabeth Banks is attached to play the pixie. Banks also helped to develop the movie along with Max Handelman who helps run the actress’s production company. The project has followed development exec. Matt Smith from Wonderland Productions to its current home at Offspring.
The script is being co-written by Elizabeth Wright Shapiro and the mono-named McG.
According to Variety, the concept for the film is too “play with the mischievous nature of the Tinkerbell character,” which sounds to me like there will be a fair amount of self-parody, much like Enchanted.
I really enjoyed Enchanted when it came out. I remember going in with my wife, not knowing what to expect, and coming out pretty satisfied. It was a clever little film. Really funny; making fun of their own classic movies was an awesome move. Now, doing the Tinkerbell movie may be a little tougher because we are talking about Peter Pan’s sidekick. And yeah, remember, she’s also tiny. But I can see Banks doing a great job on this role. She’s got the looks and talent to deliver this. Another little element that makes me a little uncomfortable is that McG is directing. I’m not a fan of his, so we’ll see…
What do you guys think?
