Susan Sarandon has signed up to star in Walt Disney Pictures' Enchanted, The Hollywood Reporter reveals.

A mix of live action and CGI, it will tell the story of a princess who is banished from a classical animated land and placed in modern-day Manhattan. Sarandon will play the wicked queen bent on destroying love who instigates her exile.

Kevin Lima will direct from Bill Kelly's script, with production scheduled to begin in April.
