Julie Andrews boards ‘Tooth Fairy’

Actress Julie Andrews has signed on to star alongside Dwayne Johnson and Ashley Judd in Fox’ upcoming comedy “Tooth Fairy,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Johnson plays Derek Thompson, a minor-league hockey player who carries the nickname ‘Tooth Fairy’ because he takes pleasure in knocking out his opponents’ teeth.

In a sudden turn of events, however, Thompson is ordered to real tooth fairy duty, which includes wearing wings, makeup, a wand and tutu.

Judd plays his girlfriend, while Andrews stars as a supervisor with the Tooth Fairy Department. Also joining the cast are Stephen Merchant (who is assigned to Derek's case) and famous skateboarder Ryan Sheckler (who stars as a hockey player).

Michael Lembeck, whose credits include “The Santa Clause 2,” is directing script by Lowell Ganz, Babaloo Mandel, Joshua Sternin and Jeffrey Ventimilia.

Andrews was last seen on the big screen in “The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement.” She’s best known for her enchanting role as the lead character of 1964’s “Mary Poppins.”
