"Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me". If you couldn't help but singalong to that line, then today's a good day for you. Disney recently announced its plans for a live-action film version of 'Kim Possible' for a 2019 release, and now, the studio has announced its cast.
Sadie Stanley and Sean Giambrone, known for his work on 'The Goldbergs', are set to play Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable, respectively in the Disney Channel film. They're set to start filming for the production during this summer.
Speaking to Variety, Judy Taylor, Senior Vice President of casting at Disney Channel mentioned, "Sadie delivers Kim's confidence, smarts, and agility; most importantly, she's an everyday girl with an extraordinary spirit". Giambrone, on the other hand, "is such a magnetic actor; he always finds the right balance of physical comedy and heart. We're excited for audiences to see Sadie and Sean bring these iconic roles to life.".
What's in store for us in the film?
Mark McCrokle and Robert Schooley, who were also behind the 'Kim Possible' TV series, will act as executive producers on the upcoming film. The production is set to be directed by Adam B. Stein and Zach Lipovsky. 'Kim Possible' aired between 2002 and 2003 and was 87 episodes long. The series told of an everyday schoolgirl who saved the world from evil villains in her spare time. Possible's best friend, Ron was always on hand to help. We're pretty excited to see the animated characters come to life, and can't wait for more details. Stay tuned for any news!
