The Princess Diaries 3 Writer, Producer, And More Details

Once again, as of this writing, no actors have officially signed on to «The Princess Diaries 3» just yet. There’s still hope, though, especially for the movie’s star Anne Hathaway. Just before the film was officially announced, the actor told Entertainment Tonight that she’d be down to play Princess Mia again … and hoped the opportunity would present itself. «I would more than entertain it, I’m pulling for it,» Hathaway said at the time. «If there’s any way to get Julie Andrews involved, I think we would make it work.»

Andrews, however, may not want to come back. In June of 2022, The Hollywood Reporter interviewed the stage and screen legend and asked if she’d revisit «The Princess Diaries,» and she demurred, largely because the film’s original director, Garry Marshall, died in 2016. «I think it would be too late to do it now,» Andrews said. «There was talk of a sequel many, many years ago. But I don’t think it ever came to pass. And Garry then did leave us. [For] especially me, it’s too far down the line now to go back to it. It’s a lovely thought, but I don’t think it would probably be possible.» At the time, a sequel wasn’t in the works — but now, hopefully, Andrews would consider it.

How about Chris Pine? In March 2023, his answer was a resounding yes. «Yeah, I’m here! I’m here for it,» he told Entertainment Tonight. «Give me — give me a phone call or an email.» He did say, though, that he hoped his hair would be slightly less enormous for the third film.
