Cinderella

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'.

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.

Richard Madden is going from 'Game of Thrones' royalty to a much sweeter royal role as Prince Charming in 'Cinderella.'

Our long national nightmare is over. Disney has finally cast its new 'Cinderella' for the upcoming live-action version of the classic tale -- Lily James of 'Downton Abbey.'

Today is a good day for the former cast-mates of 'Harry Potter' as not only is Daniel Radcliffe signing up for 'Frankenstein,' while Emma Watson is now in early talks for 'Cinderella,' which will be directed by her 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' co-star Kenneth Branagh.
