Paul Feig had a huge hit directing Bridesmaids, but while he’s attached himself to a few films he’s taken his time deciding what to make next. However it appears he’s now made up his mind as THR reports he’s signed up to helm of Disney’s Wish List, which is likely to be his next movie.
Reese Witherspoon signed up to star in the film a few months ago, and will play an ambitious career woman who lost her inner child when she was young due to ten wishes never coming true. It turns out that the coin upon which she wished got stuck in the wishing well and never reached the bottom. When the coin suddenly becomes dislodged and floats to the bottom of the pool, the 30-year-old uptight professional must deal with all ten childhood wishes coming true, all at the same time.
Wish List was originally written for a male lead, but is being retooled for Witherspoon. Kung Fu Panda 2 scribes Glenn Berger and Jonathan Aibel are behind the screenplay. Feig will shoot the movie later this year.
