Disney is putting together quite a few live-action movies as of late, some of which will debut exclusively on their upcoming streaming service. Apparently, they're working on another for Disney+ which is based on the Fairy Godmother character from
Cinderella.
It's said that the film will be live-action and is currently titled:
Godmothered. Sharon Maguire, of the
Bridget Jones's Diary movies, is reportedly on board to direct.
According to a new report by
The DisInsider, Justin Springer (
Dumbo,
TRON: Legacy), Melissa Stack (
The Other Woman), and Kari Granlund (
Lady and The Tramp) have joined the project. Stack and Granlund are attached as writers but Springer will produce.
Additionally, included in the report are some details about the story of
Godmothered.
"The film is set in a ‘gothic, mystical, magical world of fairy godmothers in a parallel universe’ and focuses on a young fairy godmother trying to help a single working mother find her “happily ever after”!"
We don't know the planned release date for
Godmothered but filming is due to take place in Boston between October 2019 and March 2020. Similarly, we don't know whether the film will be in any way connected to the 2015's
Cinderella nor whether Helena Bonham Carter will be involved — as she played the Fairy Godmother in that live-action film.
