Julie Andrews Sees The Tooth Fairy

Julie Andrews is joining Dwayne Johnson and Ashley Judd in Fox's family comedy The Tooth Fairy.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, also on board are Extras star Stephen Merchant, who also co-created The Office, and pro skateboarder Ryan Sheckler (MTV's Life of Ryan).

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.

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.

Andrews will play Lily, a high-ranking, acerbic supervisor with the Tooth Fairy Department charged with overseeing Derek's stint as a tooth fairy.

Merchant plays Tracy, a socially awkward tooth fairy who has not yet earned his wings but is assigned to be Derek's case worker and trainer.

Sheckler plays arrogant young hockey player Mick Donnelly, who makes a pit stop in the minor leagues before heading to the NHL and treats Derek like a has-been.

Filming will begin in October in Vancouver with Michael Lembeck directing a script by Lowell Ganz & Babaloo Mandel and Joshua Sternin & Jeffrey Ventimilia.

Tooth Fairy was released January 22nd, 2010 and stars Dwayne Johnson, Ashley Judd, Stephen Merchant, Ryan Sheckler, Seth MacFarlane, Julie Andrews, Chase Ellison, Destiny Whitlock. The film is directed by Michael Lembeck.

    I remember after T2 Arnold was talking of doing a toothfairy movie, but it was a mean army leutenant who was sentenced as the fairy, & was not allowed to use foul language & such. I wonder if this is the same story just rewritten with Dwayne Johnson in mind hence the Grid Iron involvement ?
