Watch the first teaser for Disney and Kenneth Branagh's reimagining of Cinderella, in theaters March 2015.
We are only weeks away from Disney’s reimagining of Sleeping Beauty into Maleficent, so perhaps it is only fitting that Disney now chooses to unleash our first teasing image from their upcoming live-action Cinderella film.
In the below teaser, audiences will glimpse a striking and iconic accessory to any version of the Cinderella tale, as well as perhaps the tone that director Kenneth Branagh intends to invoke.
Directed by Academy Award-nominee Kenneth Branagh (Thor, Hamlet), the story looks to reimagine the romantic classic for a contemporary audience. It also stars Richard Madden (Game of Thrones) as the Prince, Cate Blanchett (The Aviator, Lord of the Rings) as the wicked stepmother Lady Tremaine, Helena Bonham Carter (The King’s Speech, Alice in Wonderland) as the effervescent fairy godmother, and Holliday Grainger (The Borgias) and Sophie McShera (Downton Abbey) as the stepsisters Anastasia and Drisella.
The Cinderella fairy tale was first created by Charles Perrault in 1697, and famously adapted by Walt Disney Animation Studios in 1950, as the story of Ella, the orphaned daughter of a merchant who leaves her in the hands of a nasty stepmother. Soon, she is little more than an impoverished servant mocked by her “family” as Cinderella. That is until during the night of a Palace Ball, a little bit of magic comes her way.
Cinderella’s carriage is expected to arrive on March 13, 2015.
