Cinderella – Official Trailer

The official trailer for Cinderella has premiered! Watch above to get a few peeks of Idina in the role of the Stepmother! In this updated take on the classic movie, she is not going to be the evil Stepmother, so we’ll see how that plays out! You can also see the official poster below and in the gallery!

Cinderella is a musically-driven bold new take on the traditional story you grew up with. Our heroine (Camila Cabello) is an ambitious young woman whose dreams are bigger than the world will allow, but with the help of her Fab G (Billy Porter), she is able to persevere and make her dreams come true.

Written for the screen and directed by Kay Cannon with covers of songs written by some of the top-selling musical artists of all time, Cinderella has an all-star cast that includes Idina Menzel, Minnie Driver, Nicholas Galitzine, with Billy Porter and Pierce Brosnan.

Cinderella premieres on Amazon Prime on September 3!
