Disney Brings Akiva Schaffer To Helm, Dan Gregor & Doug Mand To Script Live Action ‘Cinderella’ Spinoff ‘Stepsisters’

they all did chip and dale **AND** the naked gun. So in terms of batting average, these 3 have me ready to see whatever weird silly thing this is going to be

This sounded like a bad idea but now it's suddenly incredible just because Akiva Schaffer is calling the shots with his writing team. Good to know this is going to be a deeply funny satire (probably of Disney live-action remakes) instead of just a "the stepsisters are misunderstood" Disney reboot idea.

There was already a [very non Disney](https://TheUglyStepsisterhttps://share.google/BA0ueXxsmfkiXEb23) version of this.

I would take an original spinoff title from the perspective of different charecters any day over the boring live action retelling of the same old IP. Lion King 1.5 was the shit.

Righteous Kill!

Akiva did a great job with the Chip 'n Dale movie, so I have faith this will be better than people expect

Hopefully Jorm and Andy will play the sisters.

Quaid army eatin good lately

One thing's for sure, there will be a bangin end credits track.

There’s also The Ugly Stepsister last year and Steps this year that basically already do this in different ways.

Chip n Dale/naked gun 2025 team. Why this isn’t referenced in the title, I don’t know.

Anyone ever listen to Doodie Calls with Doug Mand? That podcast was the best and I wish he'd make more.

That's a lot of dudes for a story about women.

*The Ugly Stepsister 2: Flatworm Bugaloo*

Akiva Schaffer is our generation’s Harold Ramis? Debate and discuss

"What's their story?"

All men for a female story... wtf

This could be interesting

After Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, I will literally watch anything this guy makes.

wow ... they are really milking the beloved animated movies. Didn't learn anything from Snow White, uh?

But the real question is, are they going to get stuck?

Akiva Schaffer is our generation’s Louis Le Prince? Debate and discuss

Please no

I really hope that the twist is that there isn’t a twist. They are the main characters, and they are still absolutely horrible. Maybe they go up against two other horrible siblings and it’s like The War of the Roses where neither side is sympathetic and you just enjoy watching bad things happen to absolutely everyone.

Ugly Stepsister on shudder was dope btw

Cool Beans

Disney probably saw The Ugly Stepsister and decided to jump on the bandwagon and do like all the others in Hollywood when a small Scandinavian movie gains international success. That being said, like with Over Your Dead Body, I am little optimistic given the people involved, even if that movie pretty much looks like the original verbatim, even having the same cinematographer.

Oh no. They’re going to make the stepsisters misunderstood victims. Calling it now

Once again, Disney fails to learn the lessons it should have after the revisionist *Snow White* tanked. (Even if you happen to like it... come on, be honest. It's a revionist take at best.) Meet the new Disney brass. Same as the old one.
