Live Action Tinkerbell Movie: Don’t Get Your Hopes Up

Tinkerbell has been presented as of late as the alternative to the Disney Princess franchise. While the Princesses are…well, PRINCESSES, Tinkerbell is a mischievious adventure seeking fairy.

So, a live-action Tinkerbell movie sounds like it would be pretty awesome, right?

Well, yeah! Until you realize that the plans to make it involve the phrase “romantic comedy.”

Are there any two words in Hollywood that can condemn a film quicker? I mean, other than “Uwe Bolle?”

The film, set to star Elizabeth Banks (Scrubs and Zach and Miri Make a Porno), promises to “plays with the mischievous nature of the Tinkerbell character.” In a Rom Com. So…basically every other Rom Com about a wacky chick only this one has actual wings and fairy dust. GREAT.

As both myself and Bree says said upon hearing about this, if it were set to be similar to Enchanted, we’d have hope for the project. As it stands, however, Tinkerbell entering the dating scene just isn’t really what we have in mind. Now, if Diablo Cody were going to be involved, that would be another story entirely.

Basically, Buzznet, clap your hands if you think this is going to suck.
