Suddenly, Disney’s upcoming live action version of Beauty and the Beast is looking like a very wise move. After all, their new take on Cinderella shook the box office out of the doldrums, launching with numbers that feel more at home with the summer than March. Yes, it even took down that might spring movie season titan Liam Neeson.
Following the success of films like 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Maleficent' (two films not highly regarded by critics, but highly regarded by people who like buying movie tickets), it wasn't a surprise that Disney would continue the trend of adapting some of their classic animated tales into live-action movies. Today, we get our first real look at their next effort, a live-action version of one of their most revered tales, 'Cinderella'.
For this week's episode of 'Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?,' we welcomed Cinderella frontman Tom Keifer into our studios. Keifer has been rocking in Cinderella and as a solo artist for more than 30 years, so we've got over three decades of history to either confirm or dispel.
Walt Disney Studios announced today that principal photography has begun on its live-action adaptation of 'Cinderella,' starring 'Downton Abbey' star Lily James in the title role of Ella, and the first photo has been released.
Marvel and Disney dropped a bomb on their fan nation with the news that two untitled superhero movies are scheduled to hit theaters in 2016 and 2017. These two films are bulking up the post-'Avengers 2' Phase 3 slate, but now there's even more news. It's been revealed that another Marvel movie has been added for a 2016 release!
Looks like 'Cinderella' didn't have to wait long for her fairy godmother to arrive. Helena Bonham Carter has been chosen for the role in the upcoming adaptation from Kenneth Branagh.
