Camila Cabello wants more than Prince Charming this time. She will take her audience on beautiful magical ride with soft touch of feminism.
Amazon Prime Video has shared the first trailer for the upcoming movie, Cinderella. It is a slightly different take on the classic fairytale than any seen before it. Camila Cabello, a Cuban-American, plays the tortured princess while Billy Porter, an openly gay, black American actor plays her Fairy Godmother.
The trailer begins with an introduction to Ella, a young woman with cruel persons all around her. She is taunt by her stepmother (Idina Menzel), who threatens to throw her on the streets and also by her townspeople, who laugh at her desire to be a seamstress, selling her own dresses one day.
As expected, the jealous stepmother pours ‘ink’ over her dreams. But then arrived the Fairy Godmother in his fabulous golden gown, glittering from head to toe. Armed with a new dress and glass slippers, she makes a stunning and awkward entry at the ball. But when the prince proposes marriage, Ella lets him know that a life of a gilded cage is not for her either. More chaos ensues, the clock strikes midnight and the stepmother changes her tone midway. The new adaptation is just as high on theatrics, drama and magic, if not so much on tradition.
Cinderella is directed by Kay Cannon, the creator behind Netflix’s Girlboss. It also stars James Corden, Minnie Driver, Missy Elliott and others in special roles. It will be out screens on September 3.
