Rose Red
Crew: Screenwriters Justin Merz and Evan Daugherty (the latter of Snow White and the Huntsman) have come up with this Rosencrantz and Guildernstern-like companion movie to the classic Snow White. It’ll follow SW’s hitherto-unknown sister, Rose Red, in her efforts to save her sibling.
Cast: None yet, but considering there’s also a live-action Snow White in the works, some of that movie’s cast could crossover to this project.
Worth it? Rose Red is a Grimm fairy tale character that Disney hasn’t tackled yet and the idea of a sidequel to the classic original could be a lot of fun, especially after the success of Maleficent. We’d rather this over a simple live-action Snow White reboot, actually.
Tink
Crew: Likewise, Disney are also working on this sidequel to Peter Pan focusing on his fiery fairy friend. Finding Dory scribe Victoria Strouse is penning the script.
Cast:Â This one has actually been in the works for a while. From around 2010 to 2012, Elizabeth Banks was all set to star. The last we heard was back in 2015 though, when Reese Witherspoon was lined up to play Tinkerbell.
Worth it? Tinkerbell solo movies have enjoyed a lot of straight-to-DVD success for Disney, so this one is probably a safe bet for them. And at least it won’t be another straight-laced take on the Peter Pan legend.
