Zooey Deschanel has joined "Bridge to Terabithia" for Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media says Reuters.
Gabor Csupo is making his live-action directorial debut on the action adventure/fantasy, based on Katherine Paterson's 1978 Newbery Award-winning book.
Josh Hutcherson and AnnaSophia Robb have already been cast as two classmates who, because of their outsider status, create the world of Terabithia, an imaginary kingdom filled with giants and trolls and all manner of magical beings. Deschanel is the kids' teacher, whom they admire.
