Patrick Dempsey Wanted for Enchanted 2

It looks like the sequel to Disney’s Enchanted has gotten a big green light, and the project is well under way with Anne Fletcher (The Proposal) set to direct and Jessie Nelson (Stepmom) to write the screenplay. Director Kevin Lima who directed the first movie will be stepping out for this round.

The big question, of course, is whether they’ll manage to land Patrick Dempsey and Amy Adams again, a task that may prove difficult with Dempsey’s schedule at Grey’s and Adams’ recent rise to stardom. Susan Sarandon and James Marsden are also wanted back.

Hopefully all actors will manage to make it work. A sequel to Enchanted without Dempsey or Adams wouldn’t feel right.

There’s no release date planned as yet, as they’re still in the early stages of pre-production, but hopefully there will be some good news soon regarding the casting.
