Cinderella is a 2015 American romantic fantasy film directed by Kenneth Branagh, from a screenplay written by Chris Weitz. Produced by David Barron, Simon Kinberg and Allison Shearmur for Walt Disney Pictures, the story is inspired by the fairy tale Cinderella by Charles Perrault (with some references from the Brothers Grimm's version of the story). Although not a direct remake, it borrows many elements from Walt Disney's 1950 animated musical film of the same name.[3] The film stars Lily James in the title role as Ella ("Cinderella") with Richard Madden as Prince Charming, Cate Blanchett as Lady Tremaine (the Wicked Stepmother), Sophie McShera as Drizella, Holliday Grainger as Anastasia and Helena Bonham Carter as The Fairy Godmother.
The film was released on March 13, 2015.[4] It had its world premiere on February 13, 2015, in the out of competition section of the 65th Berlin International Film Festival.[5][6]
Plot
Ella (Eloise Webb) lives with her wealthy parents in a beautiful estate in a peaceful kingdom. From a young age, she is taught by her mother (Hayley Atwell) to believe in the existence and presence of magic, allowing her to befriend the many animals on the estate, particularly the mice. Everything is perfect until her mother contracts a fatal illness. On her deathbed, she makes Ella promise that she'll always have courage and show kindness to others.
Years later, Ella's (Lily James) father (Ben Chaplin) reveals that an old acquaintance, Lord Tremaine, has passed and he has chosen Tremaine's widow (Cate Blanchett), who has two daughters, Drizella (Sophie McShera) and Anastasia (Holliday Grainger), as his second wife. Ella welcomes her step family warmly, despite the stepsisters' less than pleasant attitudes and her needing to protect her friends from her stepmother's cat, Lucifer.
Soon after, Ella's father goes abroad on business. Sadly, he becomes ill and passes. This new loss results in Lady Tremaine's true cold, wicked nature coming out. Desperate for money, she dismisses the servants and forces Ella to do all the work. Even worse, she gives Ella's room to the stepsisters, makes her sleep in the attic, and won't even let her eat with the family. One morning, after Ella, not wanting to sleep in the cold attic, sleeps by the fireplace, her soot covered face leads her stepsisters to dub her Cinderella, which Lady Tremaine and even Ella herself call her.
Crushed by their cruelty, Cinderella goes for a ride in the woods, where she encounters a hunting party. She meets one of the hunters (Richard Madden), who claims to be an apprentice named Kit who lives in the palace. Unknown to her, he's actually the only son of the land's dying king (Derek Jacobi). Despite never learning her name, Kit (a nickname given to him by his father) is enchanted by Cinderella's charm, kindness, and unique outlook on life and becomes obsessed with her. Upon learning that he has little time left, the King insists that Kit find a bride at an upcoming ball. Despite the law saying that he must marry a princess, Kit can't get over the mystery girl and talks his father into letting every eligible maiden in the land attend.
When the ball is announced, the Tremaine family is ecstatic at the prospect of marrying into royalty. However, when Lady Tremaine refuses to buy Cinderella a new dress, she fashions one herself from an old dress of her mother's with help from the mice. The night of the ball, Cinderella tries to join her step family on the way out, but Lady Tremaine, claiming that her mere presence will disgrace them, leads her daughters in ripping up the dress before leaving without her. Cinderella runs into the garden in tears and encounters an old beggar woman, who reveals herself to be Cinderella's Fairy Godmother (Helena Bonham Carter). She uses her magic to turn a pumpkin into a magnificent carriage, four mice into horses, two lizards into footmen and a goose into a coachman, as well as turning Cinderella's dress into a gorgeous blue gown complete with glass shoes before sending her on her way with the warning that the spell only lasts until midnight.
At the ball, Cinderella wins the coveted first dance with Kit, who's true identity she's pleasantly surprised to learn. This irritates the Grand Duke (Stellan Skarsgård), who's secretly promised Kit to a princess, which Lady Tremaine overhears. After dancing, Cinderella and Kit tour the palace and grounds together, slowly falling in love, but before he can learn her name, the clock strikes 11:59, forcing her to flee, dropping one of her glass shoes in the process. She manages to get away before the stroke of midnight and hides the other shoe in her room as a memento.
Soon after, the King dies, but not before giving his son permission to find his love. Once it's announced that every maiden in the kingdom is to try on the shoe, Cinderella goes to her room for the shoe, only to find Lady Tremaine waiting with the shoe in hand, having figured out her identity from her attitude after the ball. Lady Tremaine demands that Cinderella make her head of the royal family and give her daughters proper husbands when she becomes queen and when she refuses, Lady Tremaine smashes the shoe and locks Cinderella in her room. She then brings the shoe and identity of the mystery girl to the Grand Duke and talks him into rewarding her with title of countess and worthy husbands for her daughters. He takes the shattered shoe to Kit, hoping to convince him to forget the mystery girl, but this makes him more determined than ever to find his love.
The Grand Duke and the captain of the guards (Nonso Anozie) lead a garrison to try the remaining shoe on all the maidens in the land, all of whom are rejected by the magic of the shoe, before arriving at the Tremaine estate. When the shoe rejects both stepsisters, they turn to leave, only to hear Cinderella singing thanks to the mice opening her bedroom window. The Grand Duke tries to leave anyway but is stopped by one of the men, who reveals himself to be Kit in disguise and demands that the captain investigate the sound. Once Cinderella is found, Lady Tremaine tries to forbid her from trying on the shoe, but is overruled by the captain. Sure enough, the shoe fits and Cinderella leaves with Kit after forgiving her stepmother, who later leaves the kingdom with her daughters and the Grand Duke, never to return.
Kit and Cinderella are married and crowned king and queen. The Fairy Godmother narrates that they become the land's most beloved monarchs, ruling with the courage and kindness she promised her mother.

Production
History
There are numerous ancient myths and stories containing Cinderella motifs, dating as far back as an Egyptian tale from the first century BC.[7][8] The version of Cinderella as we know it today was created by French author Charles Perrault, whose fairy tale was first published in 1697.[9][10] It has since been the basis of and inspiration behind innumerable operas, ballet, plays and films.[10] The first film version was seven-minutes long, directed by George Méliès in France in 1899.[11] The first Hollywood adaptation was Paramount Pictures' 1914 silent film, starring Mary Pickford in the title role.[12] Disney's classic animated version of Cinderella came out in 1950. It was a huge box office success,[13] and in 2008 was named the ninth-greatest animated film of all time by the American Film Institute.[14] Other recent films based on the Cinderella concept over the years include Ever After (1998) and A Cinderella Story (2004).[15]
Development
In May 2010, following the box office success of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, which was the second-highest grossing film of 2010 and earned over $1 billion at the box office worldwide,[16] Walt Disney Pictures began developing a new film adaptation of Cinderella, making a deal on a live-action reimagining based on a script by Aline Brosh McKenna and produced by Simon Kinberg.[15] In August 2011, Mark Romanek was brought on to direct.[17] On February 29, 2012, it was announced that Chris Weitz would be brought in to revise McKenna's script.[18][19] In January 2013, Romanek left the project due to creative differences, as he was developing a version that was darker than Disney wanted.[20] Later that month, Disney negotiated with Kenneth Branagh to take over as director.[12][21]
Costumes
Three-time Oscar-winning costume designer Sandy Powell was in charge of the costumes for the film. Powell began working on concepts for the characters’ looks almost two years before principal photography began in the summer of 2013, Powell said she was aiming for the look of "a nineteenth-century period film made in the 1940s or '50s."[22]
For the stepmother and stepsisters Powell had a very strong thought about the look "They are meant to be totally ridiculous on the outside—a bit too much and overdone—and ugly on the inside."[23] While for the prince the silhouette was from the original animation, however they created a more fitted look and less masculine colors, some of the prince costumes were dyed to accentuate Madden’s eyes.
The ball gown was inspired by the Disney movie in its color and shape, "The gown had to look lovely when she dances and runs away from the ball. I wanted her to look like she was floating, like a watercolor painting." The dress was made with more than a dozen fine layers of fabric, a corset and a petticoat. Nine versions of the Cinderella gown were made, each with more than 270 yards of fabric and 10.000 crystals. It took 18 tailors and 500 hours to make each dress.
The wedding dress was another difficult project. "Creating the wedding dress was a challenge. Rather than try to make something even better than the ball gown, I had to do something completely different and simple... I wanted the whole effect to be ephemeral and fine, so we went with an extreme-lined shaped bodice with a long train." says Powell. It took 16 people and 550 hours to complete the silk-organza, hand painted dress. While in the production was taking photographs of James in the gown, the actress stood too close to an electric heater and the dress caught on fire, the top layer of the dress had to be redone, because only one wedding dress was created due to time and budget.[22]
For the glass slipper, Powell took inspiration from a 50’s shoe she saw in a museum. Since glass does not sparkle, they decided to used crystal instead. Swarovski partnered with Disney for making the famous shoe. Powell went directly to Swarovski headquarters in Austria to meet the product developers, it took 6 digital renderings versions of the shoes until they found the right one for the film. Swarovski made eight pairs of crystal shoes for the film, though none of the actually wearable since it was made of crystal. For that the visual effects had to digitally altered the leather shoes James wore on set into crystal. Alongside with the slipper, Swarovski provided more than 7 million crystals that were used in costumes and 100 tiaras for the ball scene.[24]
Casting
Cate Blanchett was the first actor to sign on, when it was announced in November 2012 that she would be playing Lady Tremaine.[25] In March 2013, Emma Watson was in talks to portray Cinderella, but a deal could not be worked out.[26][27] Gabriella Wilde, Saoirse Ronan, Alicia Vikander, Bella Heathcote and Margot Robbie were also considered for the part, but deals could not be worked out due to scheduling and other conflicts.[27][28]
On April 30, 2013, Lily James was added to the cast as the title character.[8][10] A week later, Richard Madden was cast as the Prince.[29] In June 2013, it was reported that Holliday Grainger and Sophie McShera joined the film as the mean stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella.[30][31] Later that month, Helena Bonham Carter was cast as the Fairy Godmother.[32] In July 2013, Stellan Skarsgård began discussions to play the Grand Duke, and his involvement in the film was confirmed soon after.[9] In August 2013, Hayley Atwell joined the cast to play Cinderella's mother.[33] On September 23, 2013, it was announced that Derek Jacobi was cast as the King and Nonso Anozie as the Captain, a loyal friend to the Prince.[9]
Filming
Principal photography on Cinderella began on September 23, 2013.[9] Production occurred at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, England, where Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Maleficent were also filmed,[34] and throughout England at locations including Blenheim Palace, Windsor Castle, Old Royal Naval College and Black Park.[21]
Post-production
Post-production began in December 2013, and was completed in August 2014.[21] The finished film was rated PG for "mild thematic elements" by the MPAA.[35]
Music
On June 7, 2013, news confirmed that composer Patrick Doyle would score the film, with the music having an emphasis on romance.[36][37] Doyle has previously scored several Branagh films, including Hamlet and Thor;[38] he has also scored the Disney·Pixar computer-animated fantasy film Brave.[39]

The first official presentation of the film occurred at Disney's three-day D23 Expo in August 2013.[43][44] The film was previewed at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Nevada, in March 2014, with a teaser showing Cinderella hearing about her father's death, meeting the prince while riding through the forest, her mother's ball gown being torn apart by her step-family, and a comedic bit where the Fairy Godmother transforms a pumpkin into a carriage.[45][46]
The first official trailer debuted on May 15, 2014. In the minute-long teaser, which doesn't include any footage from the film, a sparkling glass slipper is slowly revealed over a black background.[47][48] The second official trailer, this one two-and-a-half minutes long and containing footage from the film, debuted on Good Morning America on November 19, 2014, with a 15-second trailer preview released two days prior.[49][50][51] The movie's official poster was also released on November 19, featuring James as Cinderella and photographed by Annie Leibovitz.[52] In its first 24 hours of release, the trailer was viewed 4.2 million times on YouTube and 33 million times on Facebook, which is the highest views among all Disney films in history, except for Marvel releases.[53] Disney released an international trailer on December 16, 2014.[54] A new trailer was released on January 1, 2015.[55] On February 11, 2015, Disney released another trailer for the film.[56]
Television
In October 2014, a licensing agreement between Disney and Turner Broadcasting was announced, in which Cinderella would premiere across Turner's cable network portfolio (including TBS and TNT) in Spring 2017.[57]
Reception
Box office
United States and Canada
Cinderella opened on Friday, March 13, 2015. It earned an estimated $2.3 million in Thursday night showings, surpassing the midnight or late-night grosses of previous live-action fantasy films, Oz the Great and Powerful and Snow White and the Huntsman.[58][59] Early box office analysts are predicting that the film could open strong in the United States and Canada in its opening weekend with takings of between $65–$70 million and as high as $92 million, citing good word-of-mouth, the prominence of the title character and attachment of Frozen Fever.[2][58][60]
Other territories
Outside the U.S. and Canada, the film is also expected the perform well with initial trackings putting it at a potential range of between $55–$60 million opening. It will open in 31 countries which is approximately 60% of its whole overseas release and will debut in major markets like China, Russia, Mexico, Italy and Germany.[61]
Critical reception
Cinderella received positive reviews from critics. Praise was aimed at the performances, particularly those of Lily James, Cate Blanchett and Helena Bonham Carter, direction, and its faithfulness to the spirit and magic of the original Disney animated classic. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an 84% approval rating, based on 134 reviews, with an average rating of 7.1/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Refreshingly traditional in a revisionist era, Kenneth Branagh's Cinderella proves Disney hasn't lost any of its old-fashioned magic."[62] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 66 out of 100, based on 32 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[63]
David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter reviewed the film at the Berlin Film Festival and praised the special effects, screenplay and Blanchett's performance and said that "anyone nostalgic for childhood dreams of transformation will find something to enjoy in an uplifting movie that invests warm sentiment in universe themes of loss and resilience, experience and maturity."[64] Likewise, Perer Debruge of Variety said, "It’s all a bit square, big on charm, but lacking the crackle of Enchanted or The Princess Bride. But though this Cinderella could never replace Disney’s animated classic, it’s no ugly stepsister either, but a deserving companion."[65] Guy Lodge of The Guardian gave the film three stars out of five and said, "While it might have been nice to see the new-model Cinderella follow Frozen's progressive, quasi-feminist lead, the film's naff, preserved-in-amber romanticism is its very charm."[66] Scott Mendelson of Forbes admired the film's visual effects, production design, and called the costume design as Oscar-worthy, but noted its lack of star power. He went on to say, "Lush, colorful, with an emphasis on empathy and empowerment, Walt Disney's Cinderella is the best film yet in their 'turn our animated classics into live-action blockbuster' sub-genre [sic]."[67]
