InGodmothered, Bell plays an “inexperienced fairy godmother-in-training.“Sharon Maguire’sGodmotheredstarted filming in January of this year and wrapped in April, just in time to skirt around the impending shutdowns triggered by COVID-19. Not only that, the filmalsohad a surprisingly quick turnaround time – because it’s about to hit Disney+. The holiday film will arrive on the streaming service onDecember 4, 2020. Here’s the synopsis:
This is a fairly cute premise, and the holiday setting will no doubt appeal to people looking for something holiday-themed to watch this December, especially since the holiday theatrical landscape is all but dead at this point. When the project was first announced back in 2019 there was some speculation that it was going to be a spin-off of Disney’s live-actionCinderellareboot. But it quickly became apparent that that wasn’t the case at all. Instead, this seems to be more in the same vein asEnchanted.
In addition to Bell and Fisher, the cast includes Santiago Cabrera, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Jane Curtin, June Squibb, Jillian Shea Spaeder, Willa Skye, Artemis Pebdani, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Stephnie Weir. Sharon Maguire (Bridget Jones’s Diary) directs a script from Kari Granlund and Melissa Stack. Justin Springer (Dumbo,TRON: Legacy) produced, with executive producers including Diane L. Sabatini (Lady and the Tramp), Tom Pollock (Ghostbusters: Afterlife), Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters), and Amie Karp (Ghostbusters: Afterlife).
Since this thing is in the can and arriving very, very soon, you can expect Disney+ to release a trailer imminently.
