The Princess, starring young actress Joy King, has nothing to do with familiar Disney family stories, as the work, produced by her Twentieth Century Studios, will be available to stream from July 1 (at next July, it will be filled with heavy doses of scenes.) .violence and death.

“It wouldn’t be fun if it weren’t for the violence!” King told AFP at a pre-screening of the tape in Hollywood. He added, “I told our producer Toby (Jaffa) that clothes need blood more!”

A series of carefully crafted battles take place as the princess tries to escape from a group of enemies, including former James Bond girl Olga Kurylenko.
The scenes in the film are more reminiscent of Game of Thrones than Disney princess movies like The Sleeping Princess or Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
In this context, Ben Lustig, the film’s co-writer, said, “The idea of ​​making a princess movie with Disney was against everything (the company) had done before, it was a good idea.” He added that the main question is: “How do we start with the stereotypical image of a princess locked at the top of a tower whose story is known to all and radically change it?”
The screenplay, which he wrote with Jake Thorton, was purchased by the Disney Twentieth Century Company and the film will air on Hulu in the US and Disney+ worldwide.

Among the film’s producers is Derek Kolstad, the author of the John Wick films, in which Keanu Reeves plays a serial killer.
“At first they were joking:‘ What if Princess Peach saves herself, she doesn’t need Mario and is drunk? ’” Kolstad explained, referring to Nintendo’s game characters.
He said the film subsequently reinforces the trend of making Disney princesses fiercely independent, but he intends to stay interesting.
In this film, Joey King embarked on new paths after his successful run on the Netflix series The Kissing Booth for teens.
The 22-year-old actress said in several action scenes in the film that she was “extremely tiring and physically demanding.” But, he added, “there was something very sweet and useful in response, and I fell into the action scenes.”
Vietnamese Lee Van Keith directed Princess, whose thrilling martial arts film Fury (2019) was a box office hit.
“The first thing I wanted was to convince Joey King to take a butterfly hit,” the director said. “It was a pretty crazy idea, but the studio took it and I’m glad they did it!” he continued.
The film allowed the American actress, in addition to acquiring new fighting skills, to fulfill one of her dreams: “I’m not a traditional Disney princess. That’s what I like about this character (…) but I’m also happy that I’m still almost a Disney princess! ”
