Tim Fywell (
I Capture the Castle) has come aboard to direct
Ice Princess for Walt Disney Pictures, according to Variety.
The movie is set to star Michelle Trachtenberg ('Buffy', 'Eurotrip') in a classic ugly-duckling tale about a young girl who realizes her dream of becoming a champion figure skater while battling a disgraced coach, stage parents and three competing ice princesses.
Ice Princess is set to start shooting in spring 2005.
