Enchanted Sequel Finally Getting Underway with Director Adam Shankman

October 6, 2016

Talked about for years, the Enchanted sequel is finally getting underway. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hairspray and Rock of Ages helmer Adam Shankman will direct Disenchanted, the sequel to Disney’s 2017 hit musical. Amy Adams is expected to return as Giselle and the studio is hoping to start filming in Summer 2017.

From the title, we can imagine that the “ever after” part of “happily ever after” isn’t quite working out for fairy tale princess Giselle and her Earthly beau Robert (Patrick Dempsey), although no plot details have been revealed. Barry Josephson and Barry Sonnenfeld are expected to again produce.

The original animated/live-action hybrid, made for about $85 million, earned an impressive $340.5 million worldwide. $127.8 million of that came from North America and $212.7 million from overseas. Kevin Lima directed the movie from a script by Bill Kelly. It starred Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, Timothy Spall, Idina Menzel, Rachel Covey and Susan Sarandon.
