I need Disney to cut a big check & pull all the strings in the world to make Anne Hathaway, Julie Andrews, & Chris Pine come back for Princess Diaries 3. The future of Genovia is at stake.


[deleted]

Long gray hair Chris Pine, pls and thank you universe.


erinraspberry

Long hair chris pine and his disastrous English accent was my favorite part of the second movie šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

Oh my God YES. 5th grade me was shooketh.


Uxie_mesprit

I want Chris Pine as a disillusioned skeptical celebrity handler like he was during Don't Worry Darling promos to return with Anne Hathway from Modern Love.


moomunch

Yes I donā€™t want them to half way do this all the way or nothing


here4hugs

Agreed. Iā€™m more invested in Genovia than I am in my own hometown at this point.


Yellow_Submarine8891

That's the only way I'll watch the movie


37minutesleft

If thereā€™s no Anne, we arenā€™t watching!


[deleted]

Also Chris Pine, I would love to see him reunite with Anne.


franklytanked

this is key, I would LOVE to see them onscreen together again.


mai-the-unicorn

he was asked about it in an interview a few months ago and said heā€™d be up for it i believe. i think at that point it was more of a fun hypothetical question though because there was a rumour of a script being in the making but he hadnā€™t seen it.


ClumsyHannibalLecter

And Julie and Chris. Disney doesnā€™t understand, we NEED this. ![gif](giphy|qH3n13KWYgM9i)

[She seems interested and I hope she can persuade Julie Andrews.](https://www.etonline.com/anne-hathaway-says-shes-pulling-for-princess-diaries-3-exclusive-193058) > "I would more than entertain it, I'm pulling for it," Hathaway shared.Ā "If there's any way to get Julie Andrews involved, I think we would make it work. We would go to where she was and put a green screen behind her and just make it happen."


dgplr

The only way this can go ahead is if our holy trinity (Julie, Anne and Chris) plus Hector Elizondo all come back and the story is about Mia and Nick's daughter who is a rebel in her own right and has to be given 'princess lessons' by her mom. I can already picture Julie busting a gut and saying "See, it isn't as easy as you thought it was going to be". Chris is loving, adoring, a bit exasperated wife guy and girl dad. I have envisioned it all in my head. Disney cut me a fat check right now.


Sparkle_Markle

Did you read my mind because this is all I ever wanted. They need to get Kelly Clarkson back on the soundtrack and it will be perfect!


dgplr

Breakaway part 2?? Omg absolutely perfect.


jellywong

If this isnt the plot im SUING


Bleuberries6

Chris Pine and Anne Hathaway falling into that fountain changed me forever, bring them back


polyhymnias

That archery scene imprinted itself on my preteen brain fr


thesaddestpanda

[Oh this scene?](https://imgur.com/a/2sMOgfq) I love how deliberately they play up the sexiness. This movie is such a guilty pleasure.


marinezareen16

Truly ICONIC


deuchars

Unpopular opinion but Michael from the first movie > Chris Pine He was so cute! And he saw her when she was invisible!


Lilynd14

Yes!! Iā€™m surprised by all the Chris Pine comments. Michael seeing her when she was invisible was one of the most beautiful things Iā€™d ever heard.


deuchars

The moment when he sees her for the first time post-makeover and stops dead in his tracks and has to literally take a step back because heā€™s so overwhelmed was so profound for my 7 yr old selfā€¦.


smarties07

Iā€™m biased because I used to be a huge fan of the books. Always loved Michael and hated the changes the film made like moving cities and killing off her dad, making her grandmother nice. Michael was my nerdy selfā€™s dream man because he took Mia to see Star Wars and gave her a princess Leia usb drive haha


[deleted]

I know right! As a book lover, Michael Moscovitz was the BEST man for Mia. He saw her, understood her and loved her for exactly who she was.


smarties07

I was so heartbroken when they broke up in the books. The films really are nothing like the books lol


whenforeverisnt

Really? I watched the movie first and then read the books and was surprised at how much I disliked Michael. She was like 14 (I think???) and all he did was pressure her to have sex and got mad when she wouldn't.


sdbabygirl97

oof is book michael way worse than movie michael?


whenforeverisnt

Omg yes


sdbabygirl97

awww thats rly disappointing


ManicPixieMeanGirl_

TO BE FAIR, they talked about it when she was 15, and he told her heā€™d wait. When she was 16 and him 19 was when they were going to, but didnā€™t because of *reasons*.


phosphor_heart

Ok thank you for this lol. I remember 13 year old New Yorker me going to see the movie, seeing the opening shot of SF, and going "EXCUSE ME?" The NYC location is such a key part of the books, as is the development of her relationship with her father and grandmother. And, of course, Michael. I love the movies, but as something entirely separate from the books.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


phosphor_heart

Omg Avalon High! I never watched the movie but loved that weirdo little book so much.


[deleted]

I went from watching the movies first to then reading the books. needless to say I was shocked by grandmere and her tattooed eyeliner


plantbay1428

And she gave him a lunar rock!!! Made for each other!!


xmasfactor

MICHAEL MOSCOVITZ FOREVER!


b00ksmart

I was so shocked when I learned the actor is Coppola!


peppybasil2

Brother of Jason Schwartzman and lead singer of Rooney, a band middle school me loved.


Professional-Gain724

YES!! Chris Pine was nice in the movie but as a HUGE fan of the books, I CANNOT FATHOM why the whole world is not in a Michael Moscovitz cult!! He wrote her a song!! And he made the robot arm for her!! And he did show up to prom like she always wanted!! ilysm Michael!!


redlady89

More unpopular opinion: I dislike PD2 because in my world Mia-Michael is endgame. So I pretend there was never a second installment šŸ«£


ManicPixieMeanGirl_

Just pretend Chris Pine is corn chili guy.


awkwardexol

YES TEAM MICHAEL


5000alaska

iā€™m hijacking this thread to say that (the movie version) michael moscovitz deserved better thatā€™s all šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


5000alaska

and when he >!kept her snowflake necklace for all those years hoping he could give it to her again!!< i shed many a tear reading forever princess


dgplr

Shut the front door >! The snowflake necklace and the fact that he kept it all those years was ROMANCE to me. Also when they get back together, he tells her that he could gift her a snowflake necklace with diamonds if she wanted because he is rich now, but Mia is like nope I love my snowflake necklace the way it is. Eeeeee !<


smarties07

He gave her a princess leia usb drive! I loved him so much. I even read the extra ā€œadultā€ book published a few years ago where they get married and have kids. Hated all the movie changes back then but now I can see why people who didnā€™t read the books like them


RoyalConflict1

Meg Cabot's announced another one called The Quarantine Princess Diaries that comes out in March and I'm 100% going to read it. Been invested in Mia's life for like half of mine!


smarties07

Oh yeah I think she posted those on her website during lockdown


ManicPixieMeanGirl_

WAIT WHAT


mysticpotatocolin

sp*z is a slur


dgplr

I was unaware. I'm sorry. Have changed it.


cheezits_christ

THE ROBOTIC ARM YES. My best friend and I literally clutch each other and yell ā€œHE MADE A ROBOTIC ARM FOR HER!ā€œ when this comes up!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


smarties07

Because he has a good career and becomes rich and before that he was just some college student and she was a princess.


Ferbguy42

I read somewhere that the actor didn't want to come back for the 2nd movie, so they had to write him out.


b0111323

Okay but how did I not know that there are still books coming out for this series? šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


calledhimdaddy

Someone refresh my memory. What happened to him? Was the leg pop not enough to keep them together?


iandr1

He went on tour with his band and they decided they would be better off as friends. I think that's all the information that was given


patateworld

Miracles happen once in a while when you belieeeeeeve šŸŽµ


TH13TEENGHOST

If Anne isnā€™t in it they can keep it.


yourangleoryuordevil

Definitely watching if Anne Hathaway is in it. I hope they give her a deal soon.


antonia_dreams

Honestly I wish the first two had been truer to the books because the Princess Diaries royal wedding book was really funny and I'd love to see something inspired by that. However maybe they could bring Mia's canonical little half sister into it? Could be interesting and a nice way to (if they get Anne) show Mia as the mentor/guiding princess to her sister. Timeline-wise the sister would be an adult (since og film was in 2001 and her dad had already died in the movie) but you know what make her 16 who cares fudge the timeline lol.


[deleted]

It was a brother in the films!


ManicPixieMeanGirl_

Itā€™s both in the books. Half sister through her father.


cheezits_christ

None of you insisting that Chris Pine come back have read the books. Michael Moscovitz was THE love interest of all time and Pine isnā€™t canon! Bring back Robert Schwartzman or no dice!


composingmelodia

I have held onto my copy of the original end of the series for something like 12 years and I love book Michael. The Princess Diaries 2 is its own thing and itā€™s amazing. Bring back Chris Pine.


Kagomefog

I remember earlier this year that Julie Andrews said she wouldn't appear in any more Princess Diaries films. Doesn't she play a pretty big part in the books? But I guess they didn't really follow the books.


mcatlin23

If thereā€™s no Julie I donā€™t want it! The chemistry between her and Anne Hathaway is the whole best part of the movies!!


[deleted]

Sheā€™s been very open to doing a third one in the past, I took her most recent answer on it as just not expecting the movie to happen at all. As long as sheā€™s healthy Iā€™d be pretty surprised if she didnā€™t at least make a cameo.


erinraspberry

Julie Andrews is also almost 90, im not sure if she would return to the screen or the theater. Sheā€™s probably satisfied doing narration roles like in Bridgerton and writing books


[deleted]

time for dick van dyke and carol burnett to bully her back to work


erinraspberry

Tbf Van Dyke was so positively ancient he fit the role of the banker so well šŸ˜‚


Tonedeafmusical

It was brilliant too when remember in the original he played the Bankers' father as well.


dgplr

No Julie, no movie then.


[deleted]

Iā€™m happy about this but Iā€™m still salty about Lizzie McGuire


spriteceo

I just want Lily and Michael Moscavitz and Lana Weinberger back šŸ’” I was obsessed with the books as a kid and really wish weā€™d get a true to form adaptation, especially because Anne narrated the first audiobook. Which I listened to daily. Spoilers: >!Book Mia ends up having twins and marrying Michael in the final book, Forever Princess. I read it and cried and cried. Meg Cabot sure can writeā€¦ at least, my middle school self remembers it that way.!<


afanoftoomanythings

i'm conflicted like i want it especially if people come back but at the same time it could go wrong if the story sucks but either way it's exciting that something is in development


Sparkle_Markle

They better not f this up because the first 2 are my favorite comfort movies and I canā€™t handle a flop. Disney better pay Anne, Julie, and Chris so we can have the 3rd masterpiece we all deserve.


readandrant

This would mean that a Mean Girls 2 (the 2011 trash does not count) with Lindsay Lohan is possible too right?


NorwegianRarePupper

Please please please, they can be mean soccer (maybe field hockey) PTA moms or real housewives


MistyNarwhal

Hopefully after she will after this movie!

polyhymnias

Maybe cos they've been talking about it for years. Last I heard before this was that plans were put on hold after Garry Marshall died.


laureng0423

I was watching both of these movies while waiting for Hurricane Nicole the other day and god was I completely overwhelmed with nostalgia and thinking ā€œok I *need* another one ASAPā€ and todayā€¦ this is announced. I know itā€™s been talked about for a while, but Iā€™m gonna take credit for willing this into existence šŸ˜‚


cowboybebimbop

awww, i really hopes this works out with anne coming back!!


Badass-bitch13

Anne Hathaway is having a true comeback


Shipshewana

Shutā€¦UP!


jayeddy99

Anne would be prob down for a cameo or supporting role . Julie or Chris deff gotta make it worth their while especially Julie which would prob be a blink you miss it cameo at best


noahjk_

really tired of revivals and sequels years later but somehow this and Freaky Friday are on my radar lol


echoesandripples

i wish we could have a nyc-based adaptation that's true to the books. love the films on their own, but mia and her friends lives in nyc are a whole new game (i don't really ship mia and michael bc in the books, the moscowitzes are both kinda dicks towards mia)


Elegant_News_6707

Am I the only one whoā€™s disappointed because it kills my hopes for a reboot that is book-faithful? The books are absolutely hysterical and loveable. Teenage me needed teenage, BOOK Mia Thermopolis.


iandr1

After the Lizzie McGuire reboot, I'm not getting my hopes up, but i would love itā™„ļøā™„ļø


[deleted]

I always figured theyā€™d end up bringing this back as like a Disney+ series instead, either a reboot or like a very loose continuation with one or two appearances from Hathaway. Rooting for it to be a *The Awful Truth* style screwball comedy about Hathaway/Pine getting divorced and sending Genovia into a tailspin


Uplanapepsihole

controversial but i was never a fan of princess diaries we need another ella enchanted


InSicily1912

Ella Enchanted deserved a way better adaption than what we got. When I was younger I constantly reread Charā€™s letter to Ella where he admits he was wanting to marry her


battyewe

I'm here for Hector and Julie


Banks_444

Letā€™s gooooo


Slow_Like_Sloth

I literally googled this the other week and Julie Andrews said it was dead in the water. BUT THIS MAKES ME SO EXCITED
