Tim Fywell (I Capture the Castle) has come aboard to direct Ice Princess for Walt Disney Pictures, reports Variety.
The film follows a brainy ugly duckling (Michelle Trachtenberg) who realizes her dream of becoming a champion figure skater with the help of physics, a disgraced coach, three snooty ice princesses, a chorus of stage parents and the hunky boy who drives the Zamboni ice resurfacing machine.
The project was written by Meg Cabot, with the most recent draft of the screenplay written by Hadley Davis. Shooting is scheduled to start this spring.
