Disney has tapped its Bringing Down the House helmer Adam Shankman to next direct Enchanted, a romantic fable that mixes live action and animation, says Variety.
Written by Bill Kelly and rewritten by Toy Story 2 scribe Rita Hsiao and most recently by Antz scribe Todd Alcott, the film begins as the animated tale about a beautiful young peasant girl who meets and falls in love with a prince. Promptly banished from the cartoon kingdom by the evil queen, she lands in New York, and from there the film becomes a live-action endeavor. She falls in love in Gotham, but the storybook ending becomes complicated when the animated prince ventures to the city to find her. The evil queen takes a road trip as well, bent on destroying her.
Disney has also already booked Shankman to helm a remake of Topper with "House" star Steve Martin. Discussions are under way for Shankman to make the film his next effort, subject to landing the right actress to play the princess.
Shankman is also attached to direct The Jetsons for Warner Bros., producer Denise Di Novi and Hanna Barbera Prods. A start date has not yet been set.
