Here’s the trailer.
I will say, it looks like a very pretty movie.
I liked how the trailer didn’t even try to be suspenseful. They’re pretty much saying, “Look, we all know you know the story and how it turns out.”
Anyone going to see it?
Now that I know about it, YES. Plus also, it comes out in March. My Birthday is in March. Coincidence? I think not!
Another live action remake of a cartoon marketed towards adults so they can drag their kids to it when the kid would rather watch the cartoon version.
I was a little girl once and I loved the non cartoon one. I wanted to be a princess and find a prince. I couldn’t fantasize about a cartoon.
They gonna have talking mice?
They should have hired a blonde or dyed her eyebrows. Trying to sell me on the idea that she’s living a horrible, overworked life when she’s maintaining perfectly bleached hair, rather ruins the illusion.
Also…all hail the King in the North!
Glossy.
Which one? The one with Julie Andrews or Leslie Ann Warren (that’s the one I grew up on) or Brandy Norwood?
They certainly went for some big names in this one - Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter, Stellan Skarsgard.
I’m a little disappointed they hired actually gorgeous actress for Druzilla and Anastasia. They’re supposed be be actually ugly.
That trailer tells the whole story except for the very last scene. Why bother with the movie?
Especially since I’m pretty sure…
SPOILER WARNING
the glass slipper fits.
Two thoughts - I hate this trend in previews (I’m so old I don’t think of them as trailers) to show EVERYTHING.
Also, the best live-action version of Cinderella was the movie “Ever After” starring Drew Barrymore. Check it out. I think I will watch it again, rather than this new one.
Exactly. You know the story. You know exactly how it’s going to happen already. You watch the movie in theaters because it looks gorgeous and (possibly) well made.
I have to say, that’s absolutely the best two-minute compression of the story of Cinderella I’ve ever seen.
You gotcher poor little blond girl, wicked stepmother, fairy godmother, dancing mice, enchanted pumpkin, magnificent ball, clock striking midnight, prince’s quest and happy ending, all in less time than it took me to type this post!
My Disney boycott remains in effect.
I’m usually against the trailers that show everything except … clearly in this case, everyone already knows what happens in a straight telling of Cinderella.
I was a little ho-hum watching it at first, my daughter will probably like it, BUT I will say the totally dramatic scene with the gown descending the staircase immediately flipped my “awww, Cinderella!” switch.
I was brought in to review a long version of the preview, and I must say it looks good.
But, I said that Maleficent looked good until I actually saw it and how much they changed the story around completely.
That was the point. It was a perspective flip. Besides, there are by actual calculation 278942 different folk versions of Sleeping Beauty, and that’s just counting northern Europe.
I agree, what this trailer was supposed to show was that they didn’t fuck with the story.
I couldn’t even get thru the trailer.
If we have endless movies about toys, big 'splosions, and superheros in tights, isn’t there just a smidgen of room for a classic fairy tale enjoyed by girls and women? It’s not like it’s going to take away audience for the 20th remake of Spiderman or Batman: Part 98. I would like to see it and only wish I had a little girl to take to the movies.
