EXCLUSIVE: Disney Channel has greenlighted its next original movie. Tentatively titled Girl Vs. Monster, it stars Olivia Holt of Disney XD’s Kickin’ It. The project, which will be presented to advertisers at the Disney Channels Worldwide Kids Upfront tomorrow, centers on a teen girl (Holt) who, on the eve of Halloween, discovers she’s a fifth generation monster hunter. But before she begins her family’s true calling, the monsters will try to stop her. Stuart Gillard is set to direct the movie from a script by Annie DeYoung, Ron McGee and Geoff Rodkey. Sheri Singer executive produces.
UPDATE 10:30PM: Disney Channel officially announced Girl Vs. Monster, as well as another new original movie, Teen Beach Musical, in which surfer girl McKenzie and her boyfriend Brady literally go into a classic surf movie musical where it’s bikers versus surfers. The movie is already in production in Puerto Rico. Disney Channel also announced the renewals of comedy series Austin & Ally. Additionally, the channel has picked up a second season of hit series Jessie and has also ordered a movie script based on it for its Disney Channel Original Movie franchise.

Original? Please.
Boring
I think you are forgetting who the audience is for disney channel. This is a perfect idea for young kids and Tweens to watch
Sounds like a stupid version of Buffy. Is it a backdoor pilot?
Is this the Disney meaning of original? The ten thousandth version of this genre stuff?
Remember their target audience? It’s not like they are programming to The CW audience.
It should do just fine.
If Olivia is in it it’s bound to be good. Great little actress.
The story line sounds exciting, especially for kid viewing. And I have met Olivia before…class individual w class parents w a great mgt team who just doesn’t take any part that comes along for her. This young lady is the real deal as far as a person, and an actor.
I liked this better when it was on Nickelodeon and it was called “The Troop”
Sounds good plus i love olivia! Shes such an inspiration. &its different i think kids would like it.
Sounds like an exciting plot
Anyway if Olivia’s in it, it’s bound to be good
As Margaret said below if Olivia Holt is in it will be awesome <3
This is going to be awsome
LOVE THE IDEA:)
Just have to point this out…it sounds an awful lot like Buffy. And have you noticed that Jessie is also a lot like The Nanny? Just a thought…
