Cinderella

Cinderella

A new, but still beautiful and fabulous story about poor Cinderella. When Ella's father remarries after the death of his wife, he wanted his family to become as strong and good as it was. But when he dies, the girl realizes that her stepmother and foster sisters are bad people. The good mood was replaced by slave labor and bad treatment from these people who were strangers to her. But the girl does not give up, because she made a promise to her mother that, no matter what, she will always be brave, and most importantly - kind. A fateful encounter with a wandering old woman gives Ellie a chance to be reborn when she meets a prince and attends a royal ball.

Kenneth Branagh himself admitted that he was really inspired to some extent by the creation of Walt Disney, which was released in 1950. For example, this is noticeable not only in living animals, but also in some smaller differences. Here it is worth taking the same shoes of Cinderella, which in Charles Perrault's fairy tale were fur, while in the animated version they are crystal. The leading role, which went to Lily James, was offered to Emma Watson, who refused. However, in the end, she was very soon assigned to the remake of "Beauty and the Beast" (2016). The idea to make a film came to the bosses of Walt Disney Pictures after the success of "Alice in Wonderland" (2010). In May 2011, the company offered to take on the production of "Cinderella" to Mark Romeneck. However, he left because he wanted to shoot a darker story than the one the producers wanted. This happened in January 2013, and within one month the studio signed a contract with Kenneth Branagh. Already by the summer, almost the entire main cast was assembled, including the Prince, the sisters of the main character and her stepmother. Although the casting continued until the fall of the same year. The film was shot in England, at Pinewood Studios.
