'Enchanted' Earns a Fairy Tale Sequel

I'm actually surprised this hasn't happened already. According to Variety, Disney has greenlit a sequel to it's 2007 hit, Enchanted. The live-action fairy tale/romantic comedy starred Amy Adams as a storybook princess transported into the real world, where she meets her Prince Charming in the form of Patrick Dempsey.The film was a monster hit, grossing over $340M worldwide, and helped put Adams on the map.

Anne Fletcher is set to direct. Fletcher has been on fire lately, helming Step Up, 27 Dresses, and this year's hit rom-com, The Proposal. While no official announcement has been made, it's expected that the complete cast from the previous film will return for the sequel.

I won't lie, I enjoyed Enchanted a lot more than expected, mainly due to the infectious charm of Amy Adams. I could do without Patrick Dempsey, of course, but James Marsden was effective at the somewhat scorned storybook prince.
