Disney Channel will present the world premiere of “Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars,” starring Jennifer Stone (“Wizards of Waverly Place”), on FRIDAY, MARCH 26 (8:00 p.m., ET/PT). Based on the popular books by Louise Fitzhugh, the movie is a contemporary twist on the iconic character, as Harriet “The Spy” Welsch (played by Stone) vies to become the official blogger of her high school class.
Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars is an upcoming Disney Channel Movie starring Wizards of Waverly Place Jennifer Stone. It is the second film adaptation of the book, Harriet the Spy, by Louise Fitzhugh. The movie centers around Harriet, who now is a teenager. Jennifer Stone told Popstar magazine that “We’re basing it off the charm of the first book. They aged Harriet up to 16, and it still deals with mean girls, except it matures that a little. It’s a bit more of mean girls having to do with gossip and heartthrobs and all that. The first book was written in the 60′s so we’re trying to bring it up to 2010. We’re putting our own spin on it.”
Young spy Harriet Welsh crosses paths with popular student Marion Hawthorne (Vanessa Morgan) as the two girls vie to become the official blogger of their high school class. After Marion has already started blogging, Harriet is at the edge, so she sets her sights on a big pop star, Skander Hill, who is in town starring in her father’s movie, Spy High. Despite Harriet’s disdain for the movie she starts blogging about Skander and is stalking him until Marion finds out. But soon she goes too far and she must end it before she ruins her father’s movie and Skander’s career.
The movie is produced by 9 Story Entertainment and was written by Heather Conkie (CBC’s “Heartland”) and Alexandra Clarke (“The Changeling”). It was directed by Emmy Award-nominated Ron Oliver (“Goosebumps,” “Kiss Me Deadly”) with Jonathan Hackett (“Aaron Stone”) as producer.
