About Disney's Cinderella
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.
Soon, she is forced to become their servant, disrespected, covered in ashes and spitefully renamed Cinderella. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella will not give in to despair nor despise those who mistreat her, and she continues to remain positive, determined to honor her mother's dying words and to "have courage and be kind."
When Ella meets a dashing stranger in the woods, unaware that he is really the Prince (Richard Madden) and not merely Kit, an apprentice at the palace, she believes she has finally found a kindred soul. It appears her fortunes may be about to change when the King (Derek Jacobi) summons all maidens in the kingdom to attend a royal ball at the palace, raising Ella's hopes of once again encountering the charming Kit. Alas, her Stepmother forbids her to attend and callously destroys her dress.
Meanwhile, the calculating Grand Duke (Stellan Skarsgard) devises a plan to thwart the Prince's hopes of reuniting with Ella and enlists the support of the devious Stepmother. But, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand. Soon, a kindly beggar woman (Helena Bonham Carter) steps forward and, armed with a pumpkin, a few mice and a magic wand, changes Cinderella's life forever.
A live-action feature inspired by the classic fairy tale, "Cinderella" brings to life the timeless images from Disney's 1950 animated masterpiece as fully-realized characters in a visually-dazzling spectacle for a whole new generation.
Directed by Academy Award® nominee Kenneth Branagh ("Thor," "Hamlet") and starring two-time Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett ("Blue Jasmine," "Elizabeth"), Lily James ("Downton Abbey"), Richard Madden ("Game of Thrones") and Academy Award nominee Helena Bonham Carter ("The King's Speech," "Alice in Wonderland"), "Cinderella" is produced by Simon Kinberg ("X-Men: Days of Future Past," "Elysium"), Allison Shearmur ("The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1") and David Barron ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1") with Tim Lewis ("Edge of Tomorrow") serving as executive producer. The screenplay is by Chris Weitz ("About a Boy," "The Golden Compass").
"Cinderella" will be released through Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on March 13, 2015.
