Disney Production Starts…

DISNEY

BEDTIME STORIES 28-Jan
  Adam Sandler tells his niece and nephew crazy bedtime tales, wackiness ensues when they start coming true.

CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC 15-Jan  Latest adaptation of a popular Chick Lit novel.  I’m not knocking it, just not my bag.

ESCAPE FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN March 08  Remake of Disney’s ’70s paranormal kiddie movie, to star The Rock.  (Really.)

HANNA MONTANA  Apparently an adaptation of a Disney Channel kid’s show.

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3  These come out to theaters?  I did not know that.

PROPOSAL  Sandra Bullock is a mean boss facing deportation back to Canada (oh, a sci-fi movie) who sham marries assistant Ryan Reynolds to stay in the country.  This is the kind of film you don’t even have to see, because you can just imagine it in your head and be 98% accurate.

WHEN IN ROME MAYBE  Could find no details.

Ken’s Thoughts:  Apparently the kiddie market is serving Disney well these days.

    The previous High School Musical films haven’t been released theatrically (though I hear there’s a traveling stage show). I suppose Disney thinks they can make a lot of money if they release it in theaters.

    So this will be the first time a sequel to a tv movie will get a theatrical release? And it’s not even the first sequel! Hopefully they won’t have a Grease 2 on their hands.

  • “…facing deportation back to Canada (oh, a sci-fi movie)”

    That one line alone instantly makes the movie sound worthless. Who the hell gets deported back to Canada? Oh, the horror of having to move back to… Canada. Something tells me this movie was originally written with someone from a Latin or European country but then they went and cast Sandra Bullock and I guess she can’t pull off a Slavic accent. Sheesh!

  • The Rev. D.D.

    Ye gods, a Hannah Montana movie?
    I suppose it was inevitable, given the popularity of that show…Billy Ray must be thrilled he can get back in the spotlight, even if it means riding his daughter’s coattails.

    Thank goodness for grandmothers…they can take the girl-child to the movies the ‘rents have no interest in whatsoever. Maybe she’ll even pay for it so I don’t have to support it directly. Then everyone wins!

    Sandoz–there is a travelling stage show for it; I don’t think most of the movie cast is in it though, if any.

    (I never thought I’d see the day I’d actually know about stuff like this…)
