That’s Lily James playing the leading character. Her Prince is played by Richard Madden, whom fans must know from the HBO hit series “Game of Thrones.”
The A-list cast includes the talented and gorgeous Cate Blanchett and Helena Bonham Carter, but also Hayley Atwell and Stellan Skarsgård.
“It is impossible to think of Cinderella without thinking of Disney and the timeless images we’ve all grown up watching. And those classic moments are irresistible to a filmmaker,” Branagh says of why the project was so appealing to him from day one.
