Film Pitch Circulating Hollywood That Is THE AVENGERS Meets Fairytale Princesses

Does the thought of Snow White orchestrating a "dwarf strike" on a compound sound exciting? What about Cinderella breaking a glass slipper on a table and brandishing it to keep goblins away? I don't think this Hollywood pitch is quite that intense, but Princesses is looking to be a film that puts your typical fairy tale Princess and flips the script. 

Princesses is a film being shopped around Hollywood that Tracking Board likens to The Avengers meets fairy tale princesses. Falling in line with the current theme of strong female characters, it's not necessarily a new idea, but exciting nonetheless. Since no studio has purchased the rights to the film as of yet, there's really no telling which characters will be in the film, but if it's anyone other than Disney we can assume it will be your public domain princesses. That means Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Cinderella, and all the old school favorites are up for grabs. 

If Disney does end up purchasing this script, you have to wonder how they'll work with it. Disney has been known to offer alternate takes on their classic characters such as ABC's Once Upon A Time and Disney Channel's The Descendants, but a superhero princess ensemble film? I'm not sure they'd go for it, but I'd be super pumped if they did! Obviously, we're far away from anything other than a script right now, but we'll keep you posted to see if any studios pick it up.
