Garry Marshall boosts hopes of The Princess Diaries sequel

Director Garry Marshall has met with Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews to discuss the possibility of another The Princess Diaries movie.
The first film, released in 2001, featured a young Anne as awkward teenager Mia, who finds out that she is the heir to the throne of fictional country Genovia, with Julie Andrews starring as her grandmother. Both reprised their roles for the 2004 sequel, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, with Chris Pine starring as a royal suitor.
Garry, who directed both movies, told Larry King on Friday (22Apr16) that he had a meeting with Anne and Julie recently, where they discussed the possibility of a third sequel for The Princess Diaries.
“Well, they (Disney) talk about it. Disney always likes to announce things, so they tell Garry, ‘Shut up, we’ll announce it,’” he joked. “(Anne Hathaway) came to my office, she was quite pregnant… she puts her computer on the table, pushes three buttons, there’s Julie Andrews on Skype in Long Island. And we have a meeting.”
He explained that Disney have yet to move ahead with the project, and added, “This is how we work. So I hope they do it.”
Back in March (16), Garry told People.com that he’d met with Anne, and they’d discussed filming locations. “I was with Anne Hathaway a couple weeks ago, it looks like we want to do Princess Diaries 3 in Manhattan,” he said.
Chris Pine, who starred in The Princess Diaries 2 as Nicholas Devereaux, also implied he’d be open for another installment.
Anne’s slate is currently clean as she is concentrating on her personal life, having given birth to son Jonathan, her first child with husband Adam Shulman, last month (Mar16).
