Genre: Comedy Box Office: Premiere: Aug 11, 2004 (USA) Released by Buena Vista Prictures / Walt Disney Pictures PLOT SYNOPSIS Directed by Garry Marshall, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement picks up where its predecessor left off — that is, with American teenager Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway) reeling over the news that she is a princess within the royal family of Genovia, a little-known European nation with a population of barely 50,000. As promised, Mia, along with her best friend, Lily (Heather Matarazzo), travels to Genovia after their high-school graduation. The unlikely princess has hardly settled into the castle, let alone begun representing the country, when she learns that a larger title is approaching more rapidly than expected; it seems as though Mia will have to take over as queen. Suddenly, in addition to further schooling on the etiquette of royalty, Mia finds herself with a daunting prospect — according to Genovian law, all princesses must be married before they can be crowned. In addition to Julie Andrews' reprisal of her role as Queen Clarisse Renaldi, The Princess Diaries 2 also features Hector Elizondo and John Rhys-Davies in supporting roles. Though Princess Diaries author Meg Cabot did pen a sequel (The Princess Diaries: Princess in the Spotlight), this film is not an adaptation. — Tracie CooperPRODUCTION CREDITSGarry Marshall - Director Debra Martin Chase - Producer Whitney Houston - Producer Mario Iscovich - Producer Shonda Rhimes - Screenwriter / Screen Story Gina Wendkos - Screen Story Charles Minsky - Cinematographer John Debney - Composer (Music Score) Dawn Solér - Musical Direction/Supervision CAST Anne Hathaway - Mia Thermopolis Julie Andrews - Clarisse Renaldi Hector Elizondo - Joe John Rhys-Davies - Viscount Mabrey Heather Matarazzo - Lilly Moscovitz Chris Pine - Nicholas Devereaux Callum Blue - Andrew Jacoby Kathleen Marshall - Charlotte Kutaway Tom Poston - Lord Palimore Joel McCrary - Prime Minister Motaz Kim Thomson - Reporter Elsie Raven - Asana Larry Miller - Paolo Caroline Goodall - Mia's Mother Sean O'Bryan - Mia's Stepfather Patrick Matthew Walker - Captain Kip Kelly Elinor Donahue - Lady Palimore Paul Williams - Lord Harmony infos from allmovie.com |
