We knew a bit about Debby Ryan’s upcoming Disney Channel movie “Sixteen Wishes,” but now we have all the deets!

The Disney Channel teamed with MarVista Entertainment joined forces to co-produce the upcoming movie “16 Wishes” starring Debby Ryan.

The movie is set to air on the Disney Channel this summer in the United States and a bit later around the world, and is directed by Peter DeLuise (Stargate SG-1). The “16 Wishes” screenplay was written by Annie DeYoung who wrote the Disney Channel Original Movie “Princess Protection Program.” MarVista Entertainment’s President Michael D. Jacobs will be an Executive Producer for the movie along with CEO Fernando Szew, with Ron French from Unity Pictures Group as a co-production partner and Robyn Snyder, MarVista’s SVP of Production and Development as Producer.

Also acting in the movie is Jean-Luc Bilodeau, from Disney XD’s “Kyle XY.”

“In the comedy, Sixteen Wishes, Abby Jensen (Debby Ryan) has been planning for her 16th birthday ever since she was a little girl – she can’t wait to grow up. When the big day actually arrives, she excitedly adds her 16th and final wish to the Wish List secretly taped to her closet door. But disaster strikes and Abby’s about to have the worst birthday ever when she receives a box of Sweet Sixteen Birthday Candles, each of which corresponds to a wish on her list! As her wishes come true, her day gets better and better until she makes a wish that changes everything and helps her finally understand that being a kid isn’t so bad.”

Robyn Snyder says about the movie: “We are excited to be in business with the Disney ABC Cable Networks Group and Disney Channel in the US and around the world. We are confident that we have jointly come up with all the key elements that constitute a successful co-production including a fantastically written, fast-paced, comedic script; a wonderful cast and crew, and a bona fide star in Debby Ryan.”

David Levine, Vice President, Worldwide Programming Strategy, Acquisitions and Co-Productions for Disney Channels Worldwide adds, “‘Sixteen Wishes’ is a funny and aspirational movie about a young girl who realizes the true meaning of the universal theme, be careful what you wish for. Disney Channel star Debby Ryan brings a unique charm and vulnerability to the role of Abby, one that we know our audience will embrace.”
