Dempsey signs for 'Freedom Writers,' 'Enchanted'
01/23/06"Grey's Anatomy" star Patrick Dempsey has signed on for Paramount Pictures' "Freedom Writers" and is in negotiations to join the cast of the Walt Disney Co. pic "Enchanted." In the Richard LaGravenese-directed "Writers," Dempsey will play the husband of Hilary Swank's character in the story of a young teacher who inspires her class of at-risk students to pursue education beyond high school. Then, if scheduling conflicts can be worked out, he will take a role alongside Amy Adams, Susan Sarandon, James Marsden and Idina Menzel in the Kevin Lima-directed "Enchanted" for Disney. He'd play a hard-working single father who meets Adams' character, who is banished by an evil queen from the animated world of Andalasia to present-day, live-action New York City.
Disney crowns its princess
11/14/05Amy Adams has been tapped to play the princess in "Enchanted," a Disney romantic fable that will mix live-action with CG animation. Kevin Lima ("102 Dalmatians") is directing. Originally scripted by Bill Kelly, "Enchanted" is about a princess-in-waiting who's banished by an evil queen from the cartoon world of Andalasia to the hardened world of present-day New York. The film turns to live action, and so does the princess. She attempts to navigate the city, find true love and save herself.
