Witherspoon set for Tinkerbell role

Reese Witherspoon will play Tinkerbell in Disney's live-action remake of the film.

The 39-year-old actress will star as the little fairy - made famous in Peter Pan - in Tink, and will be replacing Elizabeth Banks, who has been attached to the film since 2010, as the producer as well, alongside Victoria Strouse - co-writer of Pixar's upcoming Finding Dory - writing the script.
