Watch Lily James And Richard Madden In 2015 'Cinderella' International Movie Trailer [VIDEO] Classic Disney Fairy Tale With CGI Magic
Cinderella is definitely one of the most-known fairy tales of all time thanks to Disney's animated movie from so long ago - so imagine if the company decided to stick the basics and recreate this story in a live-action take! That's exactly what will hit theaters in 2015, with director Kenneth Branagh keeping true to the original story without delving into the common thread of origin stories that Hollywood is so obsessed with. Starring Lily James, Richard Madden, Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter and more, we see from a new international trailer this week that the film does embrace one modern theme popular amongst movies these days: CGI. What better film to embrace this technology, especially considering all of the magic involved? Watch this new trailer below!

We think that the magic featured in this story was perfectly captured in the animated feature that we all know so well, so the idea of CGI being used is very welcome. How else would we get to experience all of the wonder in a live-action version?

Check out the official synopsis for Cinderella right here (via Slash Film):
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.
