Lucy Hale to Star in Romantic Comedy "Princess"

Lucy Hale is attached to star in the romantic comedy “Princess” from “The Cooler” screenwriter Frank Hannah.

Daniel Baur’s K5 Intl. has boarded “Princess” as its international sales agent and will commence sales at Berlinale’s European Film Market.

The plot centers on a woman who finally meets the man of her dreams, but first, she must contend with her beloved’s bulldog, Princess, who has a history of destroying any relationship her owner engages in.

The movie is described to be in tone with “Monster-in-Law”.

Principal photography is anticipated to commence in Ireland spring 2025.

Best known for her breakout role on the hit series “Pretty Little Liars,” Hale has gone on to become an international star through films such as the romantic comedy “Which Brings Me to You,” Vertical’s “The Hating Game” and Sony’s “Fantasy Island.”

Hale will star in Lionsgate and BuzzFeed Studios’ upcoming action comedy “F Marry Kill,” which hits theaters March 2025.

Two-time Emmy-winning stunt coordinator Shauna Duggins will make her feature directorial debut.

She directs on Ryan Murphy’s “9-1-1” and directs second unit on “Yes Day!” and “Family Switch.”

Hale directed second unit “GLOW,” “Dexter: Original Sin,” “The Last Thing He Told Me” and “The Lincoln Lawyer.”

Strong Island’s Christopher Tuffin (“Sound of Freedom,” “Peppermint”), who conceived the story and characters, will produce alongside Emmy nominee Renee Tab of Sentient (“Maps to the Stars,” “Sound of Freedom”), Amanda Delaplaine (upcoming “Alphas”), and Ari Novak (“Sleeping Dogs”).

Julie Kroll, Nadezda Motina, Aram Ovannisyan, Sophie Delaplaine and Baur will executive produce alongside Todd Slater and Brandon Evans on behalf of Brick Lane, which also serves as the production service company in Ireland.

Strong Island’s production and finance legal/business affairs will be handled by Jere R. Hausfater and Larry Weinberg.
