“Princess Diaries 3” Gets a Director: Adele Lim to Helm the Beloved Franchise!
Big news for fans of Mia Thermopolis! Adele Lim, known for her work on “Crazy Rich Asians” and “Raya and the Last Dragon,” has been announced as the director for “Princess Diaries 3.” This marks a significant development for the franchise, which last saw a sequel, “Royal Engagement,” released two decades ago. The first two films were directed by Garry Marshall and starred Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews.
Lim expressed her excitement in a statement, saying she’s a huge fan of the original and is thrilled to bring this new chapter to life. She also emphasized the film’s focus on themes of female empowerment, joy, and mentorship.
While Anne Hathaway hasn’t officially signed on yet, she’s hinted at her involvement in the project, stating that things are “in a good place.” The script is being penned by Flora Gleeson, who wrote “The High Note.” Though Julie Andrews expressed some doubt about her return in previous interviews, the project’s forward momentum might change her mind.
It’s worth noting that since the last film, Mia has become Queen, leaving fans to speculate whether “Princess Diaries 3” will introduce a new generation of royalty, potentially focusing on Mia’s daughter as a way to continue the beloved story.
