Every time Julie Andrews sings, an angel gets its wings. Now the beloved actress is earning HER wings in Tooth Fairy, a family comedy also starring Dwayne Johnson and Ashley Judd.
Also on board are “Extras” star Stephen Merchant, who also co-created “The Office,” and pro skateboarder Ryan Sheckler (MTV’s “Life of Ryan”). Interesting mix of people.
The film centers on Derek Thompson (Johnson), a minor-league hockey player whose nickname is the Tooth Fairy because of his ability to knock out opposing players’ teeth. Judd plays his girlfriend.
More after the jump…
When he discourages a youngster’s hope, Derek is ordered to one week’s hard labor as a real tooth fairy, complete with wings, magic wand and frilly tutu. Along the way, he rediscovers his forgotten dreams. Ok, they kinda lost me on that.
Andrews will play Lily, a high-ranking, acerbic supervisor with the Tooth Fairy Department charged with overseeing Derek’s stint as a tooth fairy. Filming will begin in October in Vancouver with Michael Lembeck directing. He did The Santa Claus 2 and 3, if that tells you anything. Just sayin’…
