MANILA, Philippines — A third "Princess Diaries" movie is in development two decades after the last entry to the film franchise, the Queen of Genovia herself, Anne Hathaway, confirmed.
Disney tapped "Crazy Rich Asians" and "Raya and the Last Dragon" screenwriter Adele Lim to direct the film, making it her second feature film after "Joy Ride" last year.
