'Ella Enchanted' TV Series EP'ed By Anne Hathaway In Works At Disney+

EXCLUSIVE: A cult classic fairytale movie starring Disney royalty is getting a series adaptation at Disney+. The streamer has landed for development Ella Enchanted, a TV series based on the 2004 Miramax film, Deadline has learned. The film’s star, Anne Hathaway, is executive producing the potential series, which is written by Ilana Wolpert (Anyone But You), with Beth Schwartz (Dead Boy Detectives) as showrunner, and co-produced by Miramax Television and Paramount Television Studios, I hear.

In it, when 16-year-old Ella of Frell — cursed at birth to obey every command — is sent to boarding school after her mother’s untimely death, she begins to uncover the truth about her curse, builds an unlikely found family, and deals with an extremely inconvenient crush on the prince of her kingdom.

The series, now in early stages of development, keeps the basic premise of the movie and Gail Carson Levine’s book it was loosely based on — it centers on the eponymous teen girl stuck with the unfortunate “gift” of obedience. But it’s pulling away from being largely a Cinderella retelling romantic fantasy by giving the story a coming-of-age feel with a boarding school setting, which is not in the film. Four chapters in Levine’s novel chronicle Ella’s stay at a boarding-style finishing school for girls where she is mercilessly bullied but also finds a best friend. The boarding school backdrop of Ella Enchanted also echoes Wednesday‘s reframing of the Addams Family lore.

Could The Mandalorian and Grogu be the first Disney Star Wars movie with a major disparity between its domestic and international box office grosses?

All Star Wars films released by Disney between 2015 and 2019 had fairly similar domestic and international box office splits.

While The Mandalorian and Grogu appears to have solid pre-sales (with projections currently pointing to an $80M–$100M domestic opening weekend), the film doesn’t seem to be performing quite as strongly overseas.

It’s possible the characters and series simply aren’t as popular internationally as they are in the US.

So with that in mind, could The Mandalorian and Grogu become the first Disney-era Star Wars film to have a major disparity between its domestic and international grosses?

For comparison, here’s the data for all five Disney-released Star Wars films:

The Force Awakens - $936,6M DOM (45,2%) x $1,134,6B INT (54,8%)

Rogue One - $533,5M DOM (50,4%) x $525,1M INT (49,6%)

The Last Jedi - $620,1M DOM (46,5%) x $714,2M INT (53,5%)

Solo - $213,7M DOM (54,4%) x $179,1M INT (45,6%)

The Rise of Skywalker - $515,2M DOM (47,8%) x $561,8M INT (53,2%)

Eu já tinha visto outras formas de matar essa espécie invasora (caramujo africano), dizem pra usar água sanitária, luvas, quebrar a concha com um martelo, enterrar debaixo da terra, etc… mas tem um porém, nada disso pode ser feito onde eu moro.

Eu não moro em casa, eu moro em prédio, mais propriamente em um condomínio fechado, e recentemente por conta das chuvas (acredito eu) esses bichos começaram a surgir, mesmo sendo um condomínio, tem muito jardim aqui. Essa foto é de dentro do condomínio mas do lado de fora do prédio onde eu moro.

Eu não posso simplesmente abrir um buraco de terra no jardim daqui. Em casa eu não tenho água sanitária, luvas, martelo, marreta, pá, enxada, nada disso. Mas eu tenho bastante sal, então com isso em mente, teria algum problema se eu simplesmente fosse até onde o bicho tá, jogasse sal em cima dele, deixasse lá pra morrer e avisasse a um funcionário pra varrer o bicho de lá e jogar no lixo?

Passa muita gente por dia no local onde ele está, ninguém faz nada (acho que a maioria pensa que é um caracol comum e não tem nem ideia das doenças e parasitas que ele transmite). Tenho medo que alguma criança passe por lá e toque nele.

E antes que avisem, já fiz uma reclamação ao centro de zoonoses há 5 dias e nada foi feito desde então.

EXCLUSIVE: Zero, meet Casper. In a very competitive situation involving a five-way bidding war, Disney+ has landed a new series take on Casper the Friendly Ghost. The live-action project comes from Rob Letterman and Hilary Winston, executive producers of another Disney+ supernatural series, Goosebumps; Steven Spielberg, who executive produced the 1995 Universal movie Casper starring Christina Ricci; and UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group.

There are no details yet about the new Casper, described as a modern update on the classic ghost story, which is in the early stages of development. It is believed to have a dark edge to it the way Wednesday tackles the Addams Family lore.

Letterman and Winston are writing, with Letterman set to direct. The duo are executive producing with Spielberg.
