Trailer This Cinderella refuses to straight-up marry the Prince
As seen in previous promo clips, Cabello's Ella is a dressmaker who wants to be a businesswoman. It's also for this reason that she wishes to go to the ball. As per the original story, her stepmother prevents her from going and her "Fabulous" godparent makes sure she does. Unlike the actual legend, Ella refuses to marry the Prince because she has a dream.
Moments Old tale tweaked to make it time appropriate
Noticeably, the story has been tweaked to cater to the socially conscious young generation. Casting Porter as Fab G, Ella wishing to pursue her dream over marrying the future king, breaking the fourth wall at times, are nice touches. After all, it's time we rehash the old-school fairytales for little girls. Also, the mandatory addition to musicals nowadays, James Corden is there as well.
Twitter Post 'You know what they say, if the shoe fits...wear it!' Information Cabello looks believable in the trailer of her big-screen debut
Written and directed by Pitch Perfect writer Kay Cannon, Cinderella marks the big-screen debut of the Senorita singer. Her performance looked believable in the trailer and it will be exciting to see if she manages to carry the entire movie on her shoulders. And, if Ella manages to build her fashion empire. Cabello will get able support from the stellar supporting cast though.
Quote 'This Cinderella is not waiting for anyone to save her'
Speaking about her character, the Havana singer had said, "This Cinderella is... she's out here trying to save herself, ya know, she's not waiting for anyone to do it for her (sic)." And the leading female characters of legends gaining agency is the best outcome possible. Although the film will be releasing via Amazon, Sony Pictures will retain its rights in China.
