What’s Happening:

The Hollywood Reporter is writing that Uma Thurman has been cast in the upcoming sequel to Stargirl.
The follow up story to the 2020 Disney+ original film was announced in February with star Grace VanderWaal and director Julia Hart attached to return.
In addition to VanderWaal, Elijah Richardson has joined the cast and composer Michael Penn will write and perform original music for the film.
The film is based on the YA novel by Jerry Spinelli about a boy in Mica, Arizona who becomes friends with the mysterious and completely original Stargirl Caraway.
According to reports, the sequel will follow Stargirl as she journeys beyond Mica into a new world of music. Along the way she’ll meet a fellow musician, Roxanne Martel played by Thruman.
Julia Hart and Jordan Horowitz co-wrote the first film and have also penned the sequel.
Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Lee Stollman, Horowitz all serve as producers. Kirsten Hahn and author Jerry Spinelli are executive producers.
While Spinelli is attached, the plot of the film seems to be only loosely based on his own Stargirl sequel, Love, Stargirl.
