Always so sweet Selena Gomez has revealed that she had initial doubts about the Wizards Of Waverly Place The Movie. The American actress, who plays teen wizard Alex Russo in the Disney Channel show, said: “When they said we were doing a movie, I was a little timid because I was afraid to turn our show – it’s something I’ve done for three years now – into a movie. “But once I read the script, I fell in love with it and was excited to start shooting.” Selena, who stars in the series alongside David Henrie and Jake T Austin, added: “When I started shooting with the cast, I felt like I got closer to them, which I didn’t think was possible.” In the TV movie, which aired in August, Alex accidentally casts a spell on her parents during their Caribbean holiday, making it as if her parents are strangers. “As far as the show goes, I think the film widens our characters a little bit more,” she said.

“I can’t believe the girl that started in the first season all the way to this movie – she’s changed completely – but she’s still her little sassy self, that’s for sure. In this one, she realises how important her family is.”source.
