A whole new Cinderella story will charm its way onto our screens this weekend.
The Camila Cabello-led modern musical introduces an ambitious heroine with big dreams. And with the help of her Fab G (Billy Porter), she just might make them come true.
The film arrives on Amazon Prime Video September 3, but today we have some new images to give you a look at this new Cinderella. The pictures show off some of the all-star cast, including Cabello, Idina Menzel, Minnie Driver, Billy Porter, and Pierce Brosnan.
Amazon also released a picture of Cabello on set with writer/director Kay Cannon. Cannon is known for her previous work on Pitch Perfect and Blockers.
Canon described what drew her to Cinderella:
While so many elements of the classic Cinderella tale are timeless, I really wanted to reach a new generation through contemporary touches on many of the aspects that felt outdated. The opportunity to turn some of those classic tropes on their heads was exciting to me, and I couldn’t wait to retell this in a way that’s more relatable to what girls, including my almost-eight-year-old daughter, and young women are going through today. Our Cinderella is not just some pretty face waiting to be saved by a prince. She’s vocal, active, fearless and witty; she has dreams and craves independence. Her main priority is her career in a time when women couldn’t have one. Our Cinderella is someone that parents can watch their kids look up to in a new way, and my hope is that families will laugh, dance, and sing while watching this movie together. If ya know the words, let me hear ya! – Kay
