15th November 2017 - Stephen Chbosky to Write & Direct
Stephen Chbosky, whose drama Wonder opens this weekend, has signed on to tackle a Disney fairy tale.
The writer-director will write with an eye to direct Prince Charming, the studio’s re-imagined take on the fairy and folk tale trope.
Matt Fogel wrote the initial script for the project, which is a revisionist take on the character popularized in Disney’s own fairy tale movies such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella.
The story takes a look at the iconic prince from the point of view of his brother who never quite lived up to the family name.

Disney pioneered the recent and lucrative trend of taking either old animated classics or fairy tales and spinning them into live-action features.
Details are being kept behind a moat, but the script is described as a revisionist take on the fairy tales.
