Aline Brosh McKenna knows the plight of the emotionally abused servant girl, having written The Devil Wears Prada. So she seemed like a natural fit for Disney’s live action adaptation of its own Cinderella story.
We all know the story: “the wicked stepmother and stepsisters simply won’t have it, this uppity Cinderella thinking she’s going to a ball designed to find the handsome prince an appropriate sweetheart, but perseverance, animal buddies, and a well-timed entrance by a fairy godmother make sure things turn out all right.”
I just love Amanda Seyfried, and she was the only reason I watched Momma Mia.
I would watch anything with this beauty in it. Aside from her angelic looks, Seyfried is a great actress, and always brings something unique to her roles.
She is already slated to be in an adpatation of Red Riding Hood, and Cinderella would just be another iconic fairy tale character to add to this girl’s resume.
Disney also plans a live action update on Sleeping Beauty titled Malificent – which tells the story from the evil queen’s experience.
