Almost six months ago, we brought you word Kristen Bell had signed on to a crazy stage mother story, but things have been in hurry up and wait mode ever since. Not anymore. Three more have just signed on to Dance Of The Mirlitons, and with their presence, the picture has gone from meh to a possible must see.

According to Indie Wire, Bailee Madison, the little girl from Brothers will play Bell’s daughter, a pudgy ballerina hopeful that’s constantly upstaged by a vicious rival. Kick-Ass’ Chloe Moretz will play the rival. Both are pretty solid choices, but I’ve saved the best news for last. Jackie Earle Haley will play the girls’ instructor, a sadistic Russian hellbent on whipping the girls into shape. Awesome. It's like Swan Lake with children.

Once funding falls into place, Dance Of The Mirlitons will begin shooting next year. Evan Greenberg will direct, and plenty of us will be eagerly awaiting its release.
