The Hollywood Reporter reports that Susan Sarandon will star as an evil queen intent on destroying true love in Walt Disney Pictures' "Enchanted." Kevin Lima will direct the fairy tale feature that will mix animation and live-action.

Sarandon has signed on to play Queen Narissa opposite a star-crossed princess and prince (Amy Adams and James Marsden). The Bill Kelly script centers on a princess-in-waiting who is banished from a classical animation world by a vainglorious queen and dumped into a modern-day, live-action Manhattan.
