Walt Disney Pictures have bought the rights to adapt the novel
The Princess and the Pauper, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Written by Kate Brian, the tale is a modern, female-oriented take on the classic tale: The lives of rebellious 16-year-old twins living poles apart, one a "pauper," the other a princess, become intertwined when they swap places for what is supposed to be one night but turns into a more long-term arrangement.
