been in development since 2020<\/a>. Though the logline hasn\u2019t been revealed, the streaming giant has described the movie as a \u201cwholly original adventure\u201d based on the book series written by Kay Thompson and illustrated by Hilary Knight. <\/p>\n\n\tAmy Sherman-Palladino, best known for \u201cGilmore Girls\u201d and \u201cThe Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,\u201d is directing and writing the \u201cEloise\u201d film, with Hannah Marks and Linda Woolverton co-writing the screenplay.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cEloise has been beloved for generations, from when she was first published in the 1950s through to today, when no family trip to New York City is complete without a stop at The Plaza,\u201d said Hannah Minghella, Netflix\u2019s head of feature animation and family film. \u201cIt\u2019s an honor to reintroduce this cherished character to the world with two people who share her signature mischief and charm\u2014Amy Sherman-Palladino and Ryan Reynolds\u2014in this bold, hilarious, and heartfelt new family film.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tEloise has been the subject of made-for-television movies, including \u201cEloise at the Plaza\u201d and \u201cEloise at Christmastime\u201d for Walt Disney TV in 2003. An animated TV series called \u201cMe, Eloise!\u201d ran on the Starz Kids and Family Network in 2006.<\/p>\n
\n\tMRC acquired the rights to \u201cEloise\u201d in 2019 and will oversee production of the movie. Handmade Films will work with MRC on production, which is set to start in November. MRC is also collaborating with the Thompson estate, illustrator Knight, as well as book publisher Simon & Schuster on the film.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve been working with the Thompson Estate and Handmade Films for a long time to bring Eloise to fans everywhere,\u201d said MRC Film co-presidents Jonathan Golfman and Brye Adler. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be partnering with Maximum Effort, Amy and Netflix to bring the cherished children\u2019s property to audiences around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tReynolds and his company Maximum Effort will also produce with George Dewey, Ashley Fox and Johnny Pariseau for Maximum Effort, as well as Linda Woolverton. Molly Milstein of Maximum Effort will executive produce.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWhen Amy introduced us to Mae Schenk, we knew instantly she was Eloise,\u201d said Maximum Effort\u2019s co-presidents of production Ashley Fox and Johnny Pariseau. \u201cShe\u2019s got the spark, the wit, and just the right amount of mischief. We\u2019re so excited to introduce her to the world with our friends at MRC and Netflix.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Newcomer Mae Schenk is readying to check into the Plaza hotel.
