KUNG FU PANDA 2 scribes to pen Disney's WISH LIST for Reese Witherspoon
Disney has found it’s writers for a new Reese Witherspoon comedy. THR reports that Kung Fu Panda 2’s Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger are set to write the comedy fantasy Wish List. The film is being produced by Mark Ciardi and Gordon Gray of Mayhem Pictures.
This long-gestating project was first set up at Disney in 2001, so their hiring breathes some ne life to the project. Witherspoon became attached to star in the film initially planned as a vehicle for a male comedy star. The story centers on “a career-oriented adult whose perfectly tailored life is thrown for a loop when all the wishes she made as a child are suddenly granted.”
Aibel and Berger have worked on Kung Fu Panda and Monsters vs Aliens, as well as TV’s King of the Hill.They are currently hard at work writing Hasbro’s adaptation of Candlyland. I am not really a huge fan of Witherspoon, but I have a feeling this film will do well and be a hit with families.
