As I’m sure you’re all aware, Anne Hathaway confirmed late last year that script for Princess Diaries 3 has been written and the entire cast is on board to star in it.
While we’ve heard little since then about the third instalment, over the weekend Hathaway gave a minor update on the status of the flick, telling Hollywood Life that the ball’s in Disney’s court.
“It’s in Disney’s hands… we’re just going to have to see what Disney does next,” said Hathaway who played Mia Thermopolis in the Disney classics.
While she shied away from providing any further details, The Hustle star said she can’t believe the impact the first Princess Diaries film still has on people.
“I never imagined that it would be as significant 20 years later but, I have little girls coming up to me all the time and they watch it in their sleepovers and I have girls in their twenties come up to me and say ‘oh my God, this was my favourite movie growing up’ and it’s such a gift and I can’t believe that was kind of… my first go at it.”
Six months ago, Hathaway told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that even Julie Andrews—who hasn’t physically featured in a film since her small part in the 2010 movie, Tooth Fairy— is willing to reprise her role as Queen Clarisse Renaldi.
“A script has already been written,” Hathaway said. “I want to do it. Julie [Andrews] wants to do it. Debra Martin Chase, our producer, wants to do it. We all really want it to happen.”
But before you get your hopes up, she said filming will only go ahead if everyone is in agreeance with what the film has in store for their characters.
“It’s just we don’t want to unless it’s perfect, because we love it just as much as you guys love it. It’s as important to us as it is to you, and we don’t want to deliver anything until it’s ready, but we’re working on it, so…”
Fingers crossed!
