"West Side Story" breakout star Rachel Zegler is set to voice the lead role in Apple and Skydance's new animated musical film "Spellbound". The film is directed by Vicky Jenson ("Shrek", "Shark Tale") from a script by Lauren Hynek ("Mulan") & Elizabeth Martin and Linda Woolverton.
Zegler will voice Ellian, a tenacious princess who must go on a daring quest to save her family and kingdom after a mysterious spell transforms her parents into monsters and threatens to cover Lumbria in darkness forever. Academy Award winner Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin") will write the musical score, with song lyrics by Glenn Slater.
John Lasseter, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and David Lipman are producing for Skydance Animation. Paramount originally set the release date for "Spellbound" on November 11, 2022, but it's likely it will get pushed back now that it's developed by Apple.
Zegler will next star in Disney's live action remake "Snow White", and will also appear in DC Comics' "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" alongside Zachary Levi, Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu.
