Disney has announced plans for a sequel to their young adult romantic drama “Stargirl” which was released on Disney+ in March last year.
The first film adapted the best-selling book by Jerry Spinelli and told of a boy living in Arizona who wishes nothing more than an anonymous existence. His life is turned upside down when he meets and falls for an unusual and colorful girl named Stargirl.
Much of the creative team behind the original movie are back including Grace VanderWaal and director Julia Hart. They will be joined this time by actor Elijah Richardson and composer-musician Michael Penn who will do original music for the film. In addition, Judy Greer will play the role of Ana – Stargirl’s mother.
Hart and Jordan Horowitz, who co-wrote the first film with Kirsten Hahn, have penned the original script for the sequel which follows Stargirl’s journey out of Mica and into a bigger world of music, dreams and possibility.
Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Lee Stollman return as producers.
