Newcomer Mae Schenk will take on the role of Eloise, who spars with Reynolds\u2019 character.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than a direct adaptation, this is said to be a \u201cwholly original adventure\u201d based on the book series.  Specifics of the plot are under wraps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGilmore Girls\u201d creator Amy Sherman-Palladino is directing and writing the feature with Hannah Marks and Linda Woolverton co-writing the screenplay.<\/p>\n<p>Hannah Minghella, Netflix\u2019s head of feature animation and family film, says:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\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. It\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<\/blockquote>\n<p>Eloise has been the subject of TV movies and an animated TV series.  Various attempts were made in the mid-late 2000s to adapt to film without success.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/film\/news\/eloise-live-action-movie-netflix-ryan-reynolds-1236568497\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Variety<\/a><\/p>\n<p>        &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n        &#13;<br \/>\n                        &#13;<br \/>\n            &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Previous article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/final-trailer-now-you-see-me-now-you-dont\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Final Trailer: \u201cNow You See Me: Now You Don\u2019t\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/fox-sets-a-reimagining-of-bewitched\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FOX Sets A Reimagining Of \u201cBewitched\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                                &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Screenshot: X@RyanReynolds Ryan Reynolds is set to play an \u2018original villainous character\u2019 in the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":547954,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3935],"tags":[77,3943,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-547953","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-movies","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115490221946383027","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=547953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/547954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=547953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=547953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=547953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
