The Princess Diaries 3 is STILL a Possibility, Julie Andrews Confirms

Buena Vista Pictures
It's been 16 years since Disney's The Princess Diaries first hit the theaters and made us all wish we would learn we were actually princesses of another country, but it looks like there's still a chance for more of that magic! (YES, in the words of Mia Thermopolis, "shut up!")

According to a recent interview by Entertainment Weekly, which was published this weekend in honor of the film's 16th anniversary, Meg Cabot, the author whose books inspired the Disney live-action film adaptations, said there has been talks about a possible third film installment in the bellowed princess franchise.

While Cabot said that no film has been officially announced to be created, "[It] could happen," as a script has already been written for a potential third installment in the princess saga.

When asked if she could provide more details of the script that was written, Cabot couldn't offer many details, saying, "I would love to sit and talk about [it], but I can't. I'm not allowed." What Cabot was able to offer about the written script was that it followed more "the movie than the books."

 But what we do know is that The Princess Diaries film stars Anne Hathaway, who portrayed Mia Thermopolis, a teen who most of us could relate to (except for the "being a princess" part), and Julie Andrews who played her fantastic lovable grandmother and Queen of Genovia, are up for a possible third installment.

During an interview in March of this year, Julie Andrews told Buzzfeed that she and Hathaway were open to doing a third installment "In honor of [Garry Marshall]." Gary Marshall was the director of The Princess Diaries films and had told People in early 2016 that he had been in the talks about possibly making a third installment of the franchise, but unfortunately passed away on July of 2016 due to complications from pneumonia after having a stroke. According to Julie Andrews, "[Anne Hathaway's] very keen to do it. I would very willingly and happily do it."

And just like that, Julie Andrews and Meg Cabot have revived our hopes of getting a third installment!

As a big fan of both Meg Cabot's Princess Diaries books and the Disney film adaptations that came after, not to mention Garry Marshall's work as a director, I am really excited and truly hope that a third installment is filmed. There's so much more to Mia Thermopolis' story that is left and should continue to be explored (including the really really really funny moments, I've got my popcorn ready for that), not to mention I genuinely think it would be a nice tribute to Garry Marshall like Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway definitely thought.

So for that, we are here, waiting with open arms already.

Again, while nothing's confirmed, the film's stars enthusiasm about a possible installment, the talks, and the written script certainly give us fans something to possibly look forward to. So Disney, never forget: it's never too late for a third Princess Diaries installment.

What do you think? Do you think a third installment will come through or are simply excited about a possible third installment? Do let me know!

It's Not All Bad News for "Futurama" Fans, Thanks To Show's So-Developer David X. Cohen

JamCity If you are a big fan of Futurama like myself and were saddened by the news that Netflix was removing episodes from the cult-classic futuristic cartoon, then the show's co-developer David X. Cohen has come to the rescue! Recently it's been seen on Netlflix that various seasons of Futurama have been removed (only seasons 6 and 7 remain, which are divided into 2 parts and listed on Netflix as seasons 7 to 10), and naturally Futurama fans took to social media to express their discontent...most utilizing the show's own memes to do so. Before we go any further, I need to get this out of my system: ...There.  (I didn't mean for all the Futurama memes to be just of Professor Farnsworth, it just happened.)  But it's not all "bad news, everyone!" (Get it?!? Okay, I'll get back to the topic...) During a recent  Reddit AMA , the show's creator Matt Groening and head writer David X. Cohen, along with principal voice actor...

Having Breakfast at Tiffany's is NOW OFFICIALLY a Reality

Paramount Pictures If you're a big Aubrey Hepburn fan or simply a fan of good films from the 1960's like Breakfast at Tiffany's , then you'll probably be giddy as I to find out that an actual café store has opened at the fourth floor of the iconic Tiffany & Co. store located in Fifth Avenue in New York City. The café store is called Blue Box Café (rambling a little bit here so you have time to write it down, okay that's enough), officially opened its doors today, and according to a  review by Vogue  of the café's opening, it offers a $29 breakfast menu option that includes coffee and croissant with the "choice of an avocado toast, truffled eggs, or a smoked salmon bagel with schmear." But Blue Box Café will not only offer breakfast options (* very delicious breakfast options ), as  the  Vogue  review  noted that the cafe also offers lunch options at $39 (which include a starter and main course), including the "Charles Lewis Tiffany"...

Four Days After "The Addams Family" Hit Theaters, A Sequel Has Already Been Confirmed

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures Hear that? It's the sound of my mind being blown...or that of me snapping along to the Addams Family theme song. Following the commercial success of this year's animated re-imagining of one of our favorite unconventional families,  The Addams Family , which was released on theaters October 11, Deadline  exclusively confirmed on Tuesday that an animated kooky and spooky sequel is already in the works. In just its opening weekend, The Addams Family has earned $30.3 million from its theatrical releases in the United States and Canada (a little bit more than three-quarters of its $40 million budget), surpassing box office predictions and showing that millions of moviegoers are still interested in catching up with what Gomez Addams and his family are doing once again. In doing so,  The Addams Family also became the second highest grossing film in the domestic box office this weekend, following Joker which earned $55.9 million. While it...
