Have you ever wondered how Tinker Bell became Tinker Bell? Wait a sec, you haven’t ? Well Reese Witherspoon has, and she’s attached to produce and star in Tink , a live-action movie “in the vein of Maleficent ” that tells Tinker Bell’s story from “a new perspective.” Its chosen perspective has yet to be announced, but its screenwriter has!
Victoria Strouse , who wrote the script for Pixar’s upcoming Finding Nemo sequel, Finding Dory, is penning the script for the project, which does not have a director on board and is still in development…Unlike Maleficent or some other recent Disney movies, however, Tink is being developed to be made in a more modest, midrange budget.
The low budget suggests—to me, at least—that this will be a dialogue-heavy film. One that won’t rely on special effects and elaborate sets to advance the story, but instead on stimulating conversations. Maybe there will be a long dinner scene where Tink, the only fairy at a human dinner party, drinks too much rosé and gets self-conscious about her wings. “You’re all lookin’ at ‘em!” she screams. “I see you lookin’ at ‘em! But I’m more’n these wings! I’m more’n just a pair o’ darn wings!” I’m thinking Nicole Holofcener should direct.
As long as Reese’s first line is, “Hey y’all, I’m Tink,” I’m in.
