The 24-year-old actress will be casting her spell using her vocal prowess by bringing together both her "six-year-old self" and her sterling career in one production.

According to the Hollywood reporter, the film will be directed by Bill Condon (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1 and Part 2) while David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman of Mandeville Films will be the producers. It is set to begin production in 2015, but no release date has been announced.
