It was just confirmed by composer Alan Menken that two more original stars of Enchanted will be returning for the sequel, Disenchanted.

In a new interview, he revealed that not only are Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey returning, but so are Idina Menzel and James Marsden.

“Amy Adams is in it, Patrick’s in it. Idina Menzel’s in it… Jimmy Marsden. They’re in it,” Alan said, before adding that the movie is the middle of filming right now.

Idina and James played Nancy Tremaine, and Prince Edward, in the original 2007 movie, who ended up getting married in the animated realm of Andalasia.

There’s no word yet if Susan Sarandon, who played Edward’s evil stepmother Narissa, will be back as well.

The first movie grossed over $340 million worldwide and received three Oscar nominations, all in the Best Song category for Alan and Stephen Schwartz‘s songs.

Disenchanted is slated for a Disney+ premiere.

A release date has been announced for the upcoming Dear Evan Hansen movie!

Ben Platt is reprising his Tony-winning role from the Broadway musical in the film adaptation of the stage show.

Also featured in the cast are Kaitlyn Dever as Zoe Murphy, Julianne Moore as Heidi Hansen, Amy Adams as Cynthia Murphy, Danny Pino as Larry Murphy, Colton Ryan as Connor Murphy, Amandla Stenberg as Alana Beck, and Nik Dodani as Jared Kleinman.

Stephen Chbosky, the author of the book “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” and the director of that book’s film adaptation, is directing the movie.

Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who already won a Tony Award for the show’s music, have written a new song with Amandla for her character, who didn’t have a solo in the stage version.

The movie is hitting theaters on September 24, 2021.

Patrick Dempsey just confirmed some amazing news – he’s returning for the sequel to Enchanted, titled Disenchanted! He played the role of Robert Philip in the first movie.

“I just got this script for the second movie, and then I’m starting to go through and get notes together,” Patrick said during his appearance on Good Morning America on Thursday (January 14). “There’s talk that we’ll be shooting that in the spring, which is exciting.”

“Amy Adams is so amazing in that film,” he added about the original 2007 movie. “It was a fun project to be a part of.”

The film is set to debut on Disney+, but it does not yet have a release date. Amy will be reprising her role as Giselle.

Amy Adams stars in the film adaptation of the best-selling novel The Woman in the Window and the movie has been sitting on the shelf for over a year.

The film was originally supposed to hit theaters in October 2019, but after some audiences in test screenings felt the plot was too confusing, the release was delayed so that reshoots could be completed.

“There were some plot points that people found a bit confusing — I would say possibly too opaque maybe,” director Joe Wright told EW. “So we had to go back and clarify certain points, but I think also we tried to make sure we didn’t oversimplify anything and make things too clear. There’s an enjoyment in not knowing what’s going on, but at the same time, you have to give the audience something to hold on to — you have to lead them through the labyrinth of mystery and fear.”

A new release date was scheduled for May 2020, but when the pandemic hit, the theatrical release was canceled.

Now, the movie has been acquired by Netflix and EW reports that it will stream “in the first half of the year.”

In the upcoming film, Amy plays Anna Fox, an agoraphobic child psychologist who lives alone in a New York suburb, and while spying on some of her neighbors, witnesses something she shouldn’t have. Anthony Mackie, Wyatt Russell, and Gary Oldman also star. Watch the trailer below!

Check out the full recap of the dozens of announcements that Disney made during Investor Day.

Netflix’s Hillbilly Elegy, starring Amy Adams and Glenn Close and directed by Ron Howard, is being critically panned and the stars are now reacting to the movie’s reviews.

Many of the criticisms of the movie are from how the film portrays its Appalachian setting and characters in that region of the country.

One review from NME states that the movie “betrays the very people it’s trying to celebrate” by “failing to acknowledge the legitimate problems they face.”

When asked about the movie’s reviews by NME, Amy responded, “I think the themes of this movie are very universal. Whether it be generational trauma, whether it be just examining where we come from to understand where we’re going and who we are. I think the universality of the themes of the movie far transcend politics.”

Glenn added that the movie “wasn’t made with politics in mind, it was made with Ron’s intent. I think he succeeded magnificently to tell the story of a very specific family.”

“I never would presume to say what critics should or shouldn’t do,” Amy said when asked if critics should have put politics aside when watching the movie. “Everybody has a voice and can use it how they choose to use it.”

The film currently has a 26% on Rotten Tomatoes and you can check out the trailer here.

Amy Adams is looking back on the movies she’s starred in!

While promoting her new movie Hillbilly Elegy, the 46-year-old six-time Oscar nominee talked about her cult classic movie Drop Dead Gorgeous.

The 1999 mockumentary was about the Mount Rose beauty pageant and the tragedies that happen behind the scenes. Amy starred in the movie alongside Kirsten Dunst, Kirstie Alley, Brittany Murphy, Allison Janney, and Denise Richards. It was also the first movie she ever made.

In her new interview, Amy talked about how Drop Dead Gorgeous is still popular with fans, over 20 years after it was released.

“I am constantly quoting the film so it doesn’t surprise me,” Amy explained to E! News, adding that whenever she’s dressed up she quotes the film’s iconic line, “lights, camera, action and me without a stitch of makeup.”

Amy added that she also loves the line, “She’s skinny, not deaf!” which was said by Denise‘s character Becky Ann Leeman.

“It was before its time,” Amy shared of the controversial comedy, “but I love it and I’m so proud that was my first film.”

Amy Adams‘ new movie Hillbilly Elegy will be released on Netflix on Tuesday, November 24 – watch the trailer here!
