Ashley Tisdale, who is a “High School Musical” star, is negotiating with United Artists to star in a remake of Teen Witch.
She is also looking at production deals with FremantleMedia North America and Disney.
The original Teen Witch, who was directed by Dorian Walker and starred Robyn Lively, posed the role as an unpopular high school teen that learned that she was a descendant of the witches of Salem and has inherited their powers.
The one-year first-look production deal with Fremantle is for a reality that targets younger demographic and capitalizes on Tisdale’s growing brand value worldwide.
The deal with Disney Channel involves executive producing a show on her life working in a mall, before she made it in show biz playing rich-girl Sharpay Evans.
Ashley Tisdale returned from Auckland, New Zealand, in mid March after wrapping up production on her theatrical debut film They Came From Upstairs, directed by John Schultz for Fox.
The film told the story of a group of kids who protect their vacation home from invading aliens.
Ashley Tisdale is currently in pre-production for High School Musical 3: Senior Year that is slated for release on TV and in theaters.
Ashley Tisdale and Jared Murillo: Beach Love
When you’re as in love as Ashley Tisdale and Jared Murillo are, it just shows.? And the two lovebirds were spotted enjoying each other at the beach yesterday (July 3).
The High School Musical sweethearts looked blissful as they frolicked in the waves and sand of Hawaii, publicly displaying their affection for one another
Miss Tisdale
was all about looking sexy in a two-piece Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier bathing suit with “Love Kills Slowly” written on it.? If it looks familiar, it’s because Britney Spears wore the same one (in white) back in May.
Meanwhile, Mr. Murillo looked to be in fine form as he basked in the sun sporting a pair of long black and white board shorts.? His boy band V Factory has an album coming out later this year
