There is just over a week to go until Cinderella hits the big screen here in the UK, and is looks set to be THE March movie that is not to be missed.
Cinderella
Cinderella has already stormed to the top of the U.S. box office and has been winning over the critics in the process. I can't wait to see director Kenneth Branagh but his stamp on a tale that we all know and love.
This is the first directorial outing for Branagh since Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit and sees him tell a classic story that still has a modern feel to it.
A brand new clip for the film has been released and features the iconic moment when Cinderella runs away from the ball - I have to say, the blue dress made for the scenes at the ball is just stunning:
Lily James takes on the central role of Cinderella, while Richard Madden is on board as Prince Charming. They pair are best known for their television work in Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones, but this movie looks set to send their star rocketing.
James and Madden are joined by a terrific supporting cast as Helena Bonham Carter, Cate Blanchett, Holliday Grainger, Derek Jacobi, and Stellan Skarsgård are some of the names on board.
The movie follows Cinderella, who is at the beck and call of her stepmother and stepsisters after the unexpected death of her father. However, it seems that not all is lost for her when she meets a dashing stranger.
Cinderella is released 27th March
