Hot of the presses......OMG...so excited ...
The story of “Cinderella” follows the fortunes
of young Ella (Lily James) whose merchant father remarries following the death
of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new
stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and
Drisella (Sophie McShera) into the family home. But, when Ella’s father
unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel
new family. Finally relegated to nothing more than a servant girl covered in
ashes, and spitefully renamed Cinderella, Ella could easily begin to lose hope.
Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella is determined to honor her
mother’s dying words and to “have courage and be kind.” She will not give in to
despair nor despise those who mistreat her. And then there is the dashing
stranger she meets in the woods. Unaware that he is really a prince, not merely
an apprentice at the Palace, Ella finally feels she has met a kindred soul. It
appears her fortunes may be about to change when the Palace sends out an open
invitation for all maidens to attend a ball, raising Ella’s hopes of once again
encountering the charming Kit (Richard Madden). Alas, her stepmother forbids
her to attend and callously rips apart her dress. But, as in all good fairy
tales, help is at hand, and a kindly beggar woman (Helena Bonham-Carter) steps
forward and – armed with a pumpkin and a few mice – changes Cinderella’s life
forever.
CINDERELLA opens in theaters March 13, 2015!
