Reese Witherspoon to Play Tinker Bell in Live-Action Disney Movie

Disney has a huge line-up of live-action movies in the works that includes "The Jungle Book", "Beauty and the Beast", "Dumbo", "Mulan", "Winnie the Pooh", "Pinocchio" and "Jack and the Beanstalk". A lesser known previously existing live-action project that never came to fruition, a live-action Tinker Bell movie called "Tink" which was supposed to star Elizabeth Banks as the title character. Plans began in 2010, but its fate remained uncertain, until now.

It has been reported that Reese Witherspoon ("Wild") will star in and produce "Tink", while the script will be written by Victoria Strouse, co-writter of "Finding Dory", the sequel to "Finding Nemo". The Tinker Bell movie is described as being in the vein of "Maleficent" and that it will play with the idea and timeline of the Peter Pan story. The film is also said to be more modest budget project than other live-action Disney films.
