'Princess Diaries 3' Release Date, News & Update: Garry Marshall Confirms Talks With Disney

"Princess Diaries" director Garry Marshall confirmed that he's in talks with Disney for the development of the movie's third offering. The wheels are finally turning at the studio, following Marshall's statements in March that he and "Princes Diaries" star, Anne Hathaway, want to make "Princess Diaries 3" happen.

Garry Marshall essentially established that Disney has already greenlit "Princess Diaries 3." However, while he also said that the studio would want to make the official announcement, he did not resist revealing some details to E! Online. He shared the exclusive to the news outlet as he was promoting his latest film, "Mother's Day."

After confirming that he's talking with Disney in developing "Princess Diaries 3," Garry Marshall also said that the timing is just right to do the follow-up. This is since Anne Hathaway, 33, has already given birth to her first child.

Anne Hathaway has also already proven her capabilities with several prestigious awards, like an Academy Award, a SAG Award, and a Golden Globe, among many others. The director hinted that all the successful stars he has worked with go through the same passage as they experience different milestones.

"[They] come back to me and say, 'I'd like to do something my child could see,'" Garry Marshall told E! "And I'm very good and making things your child could see and the whole family!"

"Princess Diaries" was the movie that ushered Anne Hathaway's rise to fame in her 20s. It launched her career as a young superstar in 2001, as well as the career of her co-star and leading man, Chris Pine. Seventeen reports that Pine expressed he'd like to be in "Princess Diaries 3" too, if it does happen.

Meanwhile, since her pregnancy, Anne Hathaway has been taking it slow at work. She has only two projects for this year - "Colossal" and "Alice Through the Looking Glass" - and these are just waiting for a theater release.

With her new baby and no future projects line up so far, a light feel-good flick like "Princess Diaries 3," might just be the most appropriate comeback movie. For now, she's enjoying every minute of being a new mom and has taken to breastfeeding her son, Jonathan, Parent Herald previously reported.
