'Disenchanted' (an 'Enchanted' sequel)

[ranger_scout]

Disney is finally moving forward with a sequel to its hit 2007 musical film Enchanted. The development of this project goes all the way back to 2010. Amy Adams is expected to reprise her famous role as Giselle and the film will this time be directed by Adam Shankman (Hairspray). Filming is expected to begin summer 2017. Plot details also surfaced today:

The new story is said to take place 10 years after Enchanted, as Giselle finds herself questioning her happily ever after and accidentally triggers events that make everyone’s lives turn upside down in both the real world and Andalasia.

This was probably my favorite movie of 2007. I've watched it so many times and I smile all the way through the movie. Are any of you looking forward to it?

Ugh. Another needless sequel. Leave a good movie alone.

[ranger_scout]

I forgot to say earlier that filming is expecting to begin summer 2017, but I added it into my original post. If there is one thing I'm concerned about when it come to this project is that if we are going to have scenes in Anadalasia, Shankman doesn't has any experience in animation at least from what I know about his credits. Kevin Lima was the perfect director for the first film because he directed A Goofy Movie along with 102 Dalmatians. It was wise of Disney to have someone who had both animated and live-action films direct it.

The plot even SOUNDS like it belongs to a DTV sequel

Agreed.

This is completely unnecessary.

[Cure]

Oh nice. I liked the first one a lot, so I'm looking forward to this.

Doesn't it, though?

[Utrommaniac]

I don't care how it goes, don't waste your Idina Menzel!

[Ninjinister]

Am I the only one that outright loathed the first one? I thought it looked a'ight from the previews but when I finally saw it there was nothing I found entertaining.

I often wonder if I just missed something since it seems to be a favorite.

[plastroncafe]

Here's to hoping this works to distance Amy Adams from the last couple of movies she's been in.

[Shark_Blade]

I like the first one except the ending. Giselle should've went with the prince, not with that killjoy pessimistic New Yorker twat.

[ranger_scout]

Adam Shankman says that the script for should be done within a couple of weeks. The next step will be to get the songs written and this movie will feature a lot more than in the original. Plus, it will have the same amount animation that its predecessor had.

Kevin Lima, the first film's director, will have no involvement with the sequel.

"I always find that I'm heading off into the world looking for new adventures. The idea of making a sequel isn't the most intriguing for me. At the same time, I haven't been able to even suggest a sequel to them. 'Enchanted' feels like a movie that's complete in and of itself. I'm sure if I was forced to stick my nose to the grindstone I could work something out. I don't have a story that feels compelling, though. Nothing's come to me. I tend not to dwell on it.

"I keep thinking what's next? What other stories can I tell?"

Taken a while to get this going.

[ranger_scout]

Shankman confirmed that Alan Mencken and Stephen Schwartz will return to write songs for the film. He's also been in touch with Amy Adams and the cast. So far, they really like what they see for this project. The script is going to be turned in very soon.

I don't think a bad movie should get a sequel lol. Didn't the first film flop if I recall? That's like saying lets make a sequel to Quest for Camelot, and we know no one is touching that ideal lol.

[Egon1982]

Sounds like the name of the TV show on Netflix but i dunno about a sequel i think things wrapped up in the first movie

[ranger_scout]

The film is officially headed to Disney+ and Adams is set to return as Giselle.

It's been so long... like how are the actresses looking nowadays?

You do realize Amy Adams played Lois Lane in the Zack Snyder DC movies, right? She was just in Justice League.

[ranger_scout]

James Marsden and Idina Menzel will be returning for this film.

[CyberCubed]

Amy Adams has aged quite a bit since 2007, she looks fairly old in Justice League, so if they don't film this soon she's going to be middle age. Hell she's pushing 50 as it is.

Adams is 46, but Menzel is actually turning 50 at the end of May. I still think both of them look fine.

[CyberCubed]

She's just visibly aged since 2007. Gingers also tend to get wrinkles quicker than girls with other hair color.

New story details have emerged and the Seven Dwarfs from Snow White are going to have pivotal roles in the film. They are even going to have their own musical number.

The film will see Giselle, Robert, and Morgan moving to a new house in the suburbs, overseen by Malvina Monroe, the main villain of the film. After problems begin to arise, Giselle makes a wish to transform their lives into a perfect fairytale. However, the spell backfires dramatically and puts Giselle in a rush against the clock to save both her family and her Kingdom of Andalasia before the clock strikes midnight.

Though Morgan will also be returning, it seems that she will be played by a new actress for this film as Rachel Covey is now too old to play the character. The chipmunk Pip will return as well, though it is unclear who will voice the character this time around (director Kevin Lima and Jeff Bennett shared the role in the original).

We have also learned that Snow White’s seven dwarfs- Grumpy, Happy, Sneezy, Sleepy, Dopey, Bashful, and Doc- will play a pivotal role in the film including a musical number.

James Marsden just talked about the sequel and Idina Menzel singing in it.



"It was a crime that in the first film, she's in a movie musical and you have Idina Menzel, and she doesn't sing a note," Marsden adds. "We've raised the bar by giving her some big, Stephen Schwartz, Alan Menken... I can't say too much about what she sings, but original music, I'll say."

"So all-new original music, all the original cast coming back and more, and just expanding on that world, which was so much fun 15 years ago," the actor says.

Marsden also chats about the film in this week's issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday, saying he was excited to do a sequel because "the formula just worked" in the first movie.

"I think maybe for a year or two, there were conversations about what [a second movie] would look like and what the story would be. But for some reason, it just didn't happen," he says. "I don't know really why. And I was told over the years that they were trying to get it made and trying to get the script written. And finally, they got it together and I was happy to jump back into the crazy suits and swing the sword again."

The actor says "hopefully" Disenchanted is "going to take that joy that we created on the first movie and bring it to a whole new generation of audiences who may not have seen the first film."

"And all the fans from the original Enchanted, hopefully, they'll be happy to see this one, as well. It has been a long time coming," Marsden adds.

The trailer is here. Now I can see why it’s called DisEnchanted because Giselle turns into an evil stepmother.

So they just turn the main character evil? What?

Amy Adams has not aged well at all either.

lol, as much as Disney and other companies want me to subscribe to their steaming platforms for their few curious shows/movies I'm interested in, I still won't subscribe to them.

So I quickly read over the plot and the critics opinions of it, and it looks like I didn't miss much. So the theme was really about reevaluating one's contentment and priorities over what's considered a "Happily Ever After"?:-?

She's just visibly aged since 2007. Gingers also tend to get wrinkles quicker than girls with other hair color.

That's due to the lack of melanin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanin) in the skin (and why their skin burns quicker in direct sunlight exposure) than compared to non-ginger Caucasians. Melanin protects the skin from UV damage, and therefore, reduces the amount of accumulated skin damage as well. Which is where the saying "black don't crack" comes from.

[Andrew NDB]

They have a good run, though.

lol, as much as Disney and other companies want me to subscribe to their steaming platforms for their few curious shows/movies I'm interested in, I still won't subscribe to them.I have Disney+, but only because it came bundled with Hulu+ Live. Only reason I gave in to it at the time was to watch the Mandalorian. :lol::P. It also wasn’t a bad bundle deal.

[ranger_scout]

Well, it's difficult to follow such a perfect fairy tale film. I was concerned that this film would turn out to be like some of those disappointing direct-to-video sequels. This film was actually available for home viewing like those were. It clearly isn't as memorable or charming as its predecessor, but I still thought it was enjoyable. The returning cast members still have that magic and the new additions were fun. Gabriella Baldacchino is lovely as Morgan. The 2D animation scenes are fantastic and it really did feel good to see Disney try to recapture some of those old-fashioned animation films. Idina Menzel's new song about the power of memories made from love is now more important after what many of people have been going through. It's also important to be thankful for what we have in life and who is a part of it.
