Dove Cameron Opens Up About Upcoming Re-Shoot For The Powerpuff Girls’ Pilot

Dove Cameron chatted with Entertainment Tonight about the recent re-working of The Powerpuff Girls pilot, Powerpuffs. Set to be joined by Chloe Bennet and Yana Perrault as the superhero trio, The CW Chairman and CEO Mark Pedowitz made the announcement about opting to forgo scheduling or canceling the pilot to instead re0work it during The CW Upfronts this past May.

During her chat Dove stated, “I can’t speak on it yet because they are still changing. Such a funny thing. They didn’t decide to rework the pilot because the script leaked. I just need to say that that wasn’t what happened. We had to reshoot it anyway for a couple of reasons.

It’s a really big piece of IP, and it’s tonally very specific. Like getting it right, making everybody happy, and also making sure that it translates. It’s so specific. To modernize it and to make it fit like, a bunch of different things that don’t normally go together, it’s just kind of like a puzzle piece. So we’re removing some elements and we’re replacing others. I think the script is going to get another whack, and it’s just going to be a slightly different approach but everything else is going to stay the same.”

Dove went on to say that she was excited to get the chance to re-shoot the pilot. She stated, “But I’m actually very excited at the thought of it because I was texting the girls and we’re like, ‘Oh. Well, now we know what we’re doing. What an amazing thing’. You never get to do that as an actor, go back and be like, ‘What would I have done differently?'”
