We want a “Princess Diaries 3” movie; Anne Hathaway wants a “Princess Diaries 3” movie; everyone wants a “Princess Diaries 3” movie!
Well, hold on to your royal socks because the actress who played Princess Mia Thermopolis in “The Princess Diaries,” told Andy Cohen during Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” that there is a script for a third movie.
“I want to do it. Julie [Andrews] wants to do it. Debra Martin Chase, our producer, wants to do it. We all really want it to happen,” Hathaway said.
It’s been nearly 15 (long) years since Princess Mia (Hathaway) ruled the fictional country of Genovia alongside her grandmother and the queen (Julie Andrews) in the film’s sequel. The original movie came out in 2001.
However, the movie needs to be “perfect” before it’s released. Hathaway did not reveal when the script would be completed or when the movie would be released.
“It’s just we don’t want to do it unless it’s perfect because we love it just as much as you guys love it,” Hathaway said. “It’s just as important to us as it is to you. And we don’t want to deliver anything until it’s ready, but we’re working on it.”
The Princess Diaries grossed US $165.3 million on a US $26 million budget upon its release in 2001. The movie was also where the then-19-year-old Hathaway established herself in Hollywood while marking the end of Andrews’ semi-retirement and her first return to Disney films since playing the lead in 1964’s Mary Poppins, which was Andrew’s first feature film debut.
The Princess Diaries is based on a series of young adult novels by American author Meg Cabot.
