Disney's 'Cinderella' Live-Action Move Remake Set for March 2015 Release, Watch First Trailer Teaser Here (VIDEO)

The popular Disney fairy tale, Cinderella, is getting a live-action remake that is scheduled to hit theaters in March of 2015. They have released the first trailer teaser for the upcoming film, watch above. 

The story of "Cinderella" follows the fortunes of young Ella (Lily James) whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and Drisella (Sophie McShera) into the family home. But, when Ella's father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family. Finally relegated to nothing more than a servant girl covered in ashes, and spitefully renamed Cinderella, Ella could easily begin to lose hope. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella is determined to honor her mother's dying words and to "have courage and be kind." She will not give in to despair nor despise those who mistreat her. And then there is the dashing stranger she meets in the woods. Unaware that he is really a prince, not merely an apprentice at the Palace, Ella finally feels she has met a kindred soul. It appears her fortunes may be about to change when the Palace sends out an open invitation for all maidens to attend a ball, raising Ella's hopes of once again encountering the charming Kit (Richard Madden). Alas, her stepmother forbids her to attend and callously rips apart her dress. But, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand, and a kindly beggar woman (Helena Bonham-Carter) steps forward and -- armed with a pumpkin and a few mice -- changes Cinderella's life forever.

Cinderella will be directed by Kenneth Branagh and produced by David Barron and Simon Kinberg. The storyline was written by Aline Bosh McKenna and Chris Weitz. Principal photography on the film began on September 23, 2013 in London. The film is scheduled to be released on March 13, 2015. The film also reunites the director with actress Helena Bonham Carter; both had previously collaborated in the 1994 horror film Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
