Production has commenced in Boston on Godmothered an original live-action movie for Disney+ starring Isla Fisher and Jillian Bell directed by Sharon Maguire. The screenplay is by Kari Granlund and Melissa K. Stack. The film is produced by Justin Springer, with Ivan Reitman, Tom Pollock, Amie Karp and Diane L. Sabatini serving as executive producers.
Set at Christmas time, Godmothered is a comedy about Eleanor, a young, inexperienced fairy godmother-in-training (Bell) who upon hearing that her chosen profession is facing extinction, decides to show the world that people still need fairy godmothers. Finding a mislaid letter from a 12-year-old girl in distress, Eleanor tracks her down and discovers that the girl, Mackenzie, is now a 40-year-old single mom (Fisher) working at a news station in Boston. Having lost her husband several years earlier, Mackenzie has all but given up on the idea of “Happily Ever After,” but Eleanor is bound and determined to give Mackenzie a happiness makeover, whether she likes it or not. 
Joining Bell and Fisher in supporting roles are Emmy winner Jane Curtin as headmistress of The Motherland, Jillian Shea Spaeder and Willa Skye as Mackenzie’s young daughters, Mary Elizabeth Ellis as her sister, and Santiago Cabrera, Artemis Pebdani, Utkarsh Ambudkar and Stephnie Weir as colleagues at the TV news station where Mackenzie works. June Squibb and Carlease Burke appear as godmothers populating The Motherland.
Christopher Norr serves as Director of Photography with Alice Normingtonas Production Designer, Renee Ehrlich Kalfus as Costume Designer and Gary Dollner as Editor.
