One of Disney’s most beloved princesses is coming back onscreen. Brandy will reprise her role as Cinderella for a new Disney+ film in the “Descendants” franchise.
Brandy previously famously portrayed the fairytale princess in a TV film adaptation of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” musical, which was watched by 60 million viewers when it first aired on ABC in 1997. The film’s inclusive and diverse casting — which included Brandy as the first Black woman to play Cinderella, Whitney Houston and Whoopi Goldberg as the Fairy Godmother and the Queen, and Paolo Montalbán as a Filipino Prince Charming — was widely regarded as groundbreaking, and the film has since become considered a classic. This August, Brandy reunited with the cast of the film for an ABC special to celebrate its 25th anniversary. The new “Descendants” film, currently under the working title “The Pocketwatch,” will be the first time in the role since the 1997 film.

Though The Descendants’ animated special, Descendants: The Royal Wedding, last Friday celebrated the marriage of main characters Mal and Ben, the episode also honored late actor Cameron Boyce, who played Carlos in the Disney Channel franchise.
The television special acknowledged the absence of Carlos early on when Mal receives a wedding present of a charm bracelet with all of their family crests, including one of Carlos. The character Evie explained it represents “the four VKs, linked together forever.”
At the end of the episode, as the wedded pair reflected on their memorable day, Mal suggested that “another story could be just beginning,” before the camera pans to a pile of white roses painted red and fading to black in a rabbit hole, teasing that a fourth installment of the Descendants franchise might be on the way.

The Writers Guild of America has just announced the nominations for their annual awards for Best Screenplays (by writers who are guild signatories). That’s right, before you get nervous thinking that your favorite may have been left off the list, you must remember that the WGA is the group that is not all-inclusive and leaves out several of the top contenders each year due to them not being part of the guild or not following their very specific rules. For this reason, you won’t see Inside Out, The Hateful Eight, and Ex Machina in the Original Screenplay category or Room, Brooklyn, or Anomalisa in the Adapted screenplay category.
Taking a look at what’s left over for the nominations, we find many that were expected to make a showing, including Spotlight and Bridge of Spies for Original Screenplay, though they apparently had to sink to really low depths...

Debra Messing is making a return to half-hour comedy with a starring role in ABC's pilot "Wright vs. Wrong."
The Emmy-winning "Will & Grace" alumna also will serve as an executive producer and take up ownership on the single-camera project, from Sony TV and Tantamount.

"Runaway Bride" reteams Julia Roberts and Richard Gere with their "Pretty Woman" director Garry Marshall in hopes that the magic of that 1990 triumph will repeat itself. Remarkably, the actors have only gotten better looking with age, and there's no question the chemistry between them still works for a light romantic comedy. But an overcalculated, undernourished screenplay undermines much of the effort.
The stars, along with the momentum of Roberts' success with "Notting Hill" this summer, nearly guarantee good boxoffice for Paramount and Touchstone. How high the grosses go depends on audiences' willingness to tolerate lightheadedness that mistakes itself for lightheartedness.
The problem is that the linchpin holding the story in place in Josann McGibbon and Sara Parriott's screenplay is awfully weak. In a way, it resembles a murder mystery in which nobody bothers to discover who killed Reginald in the library with a carving knife.
USA Today columnist Ike Graham (Gere) faces a deadline with no idea of what to write. A brief conversation with a guy in his favorite bar inspires him to write a column about Maggie Carpenter (Roberts), a Maryland woman who is a serial engager. She loves being engaged, but when she stares down a wedding aisle, she always runs away.
The column has a few inaccuracies, and Ike gets fired. So he heads for Hale, Md., on a free-lance assignment to cover Maggie's fourth attempt at marital bliss, thoroughly convinced that she will bolt again and it will somehow salvage his journalistic reputation.
Naturally, Maggie instantly dislikes the reporter who wants to humiliate her, and from that point, their relationship takes an all-too-predictable path to love.
Marshall and his writers cannot decide how seriously they want to treat their hero's chauvinism or their heroine's neuroses. They certainly don't want Gere to come off as a hardass or Roberts as a fruitcake. Charming eccentricity will do.
Thus, the filmmakers ignore even the most fundamental psychology and treat their characters' hang-ups -- such as the alcoholism of Maggie's father, her flirtation with her best friend's husband and Ike's failure with women -- as comic plot devices.
Nor is there any explanation of why the community of Hale so lovingly embraces the big-city journalist who smeared a local woman. "Runaway Bride" is determined to be a vehicle for its stars, showing little concern for design flaws in the vehicle itself.
Roberts and Gere are clearly enjoying themselves, and audiences may well shrug off the film's shortcomings to join in the good feelings. Marshall and his writers concoct occasional odd moments that satisfy, such as a barbershop quartet that includes the town's mayor, sheriff and the out-of-town journalist or a prenuptial luau that feels perfectly normal in rural Maryland.
The pixilated townsfolk have been seen in countless films and TV shows. But the actors -- including Joan Cusack, Paul Dooley, Christopher Meloni and Laurie Metcalf -- play the cliches with such energy that you can't help an occasional smile. Rita Wilson and Hector Elizondo turn up as Gere's ex-boss (and ex-wife) and her current husband, whose cozy relationship with Gere is never fully explored.
"Runaway Bride" is likable in the way a maiden aunt who lives in another era is likable at family gatherings. If enough activity and good-hearted feelings abound, no one is likely to notice she's a bit dotty.
