LOS ANGELES -- Disney is playing all the beats of the classic Cinderella story for its first full trailer from the live-action adaptation: wicked stepmother and step-sisters, forced labor, Prince Charming, fairy godmother, helpful mice, pumpkin carriage, glass slippers, stroke of midnight. Does that about cover it?
It sure does, as this first look plays more like a mini-movie than a teaser, giving us a long look at the 25-year-old Lily James (Downton Abbey) as the house slave-turned-magical princess.
We also see Cate Blanchett as Lady Tremaine (the wicked stepmother) and of course, Charming, played by Richard Madden (may his Game of Thrones soul rest in peace).
Hey, he still looks great in armor and on horseback -- just with much whiter teeth and bluer eyes.
Cinderella trots into theaters on March 13.
