Could not have agreed more with you. Seyfried is boring and average, and she is not beautiful/pretty enough to play Cinderella IMO. The unknown Mia Wasikowska was really charming as Alice though.Patrick wrote:Oh gosh.. I hope Amanda Seyfreid isn't still being considered. She's a boring and average actress. Not to mention everything she's done since Mean Girls has tanked (Except Mama Mia which ran on the merits of Abba and the Broadway show). I'd like it if the movie weren't "star studded." I also liked the girl they chose to play Alice in Burton's re-imagining.. Hopefully they find someone right for the part and not someone who will bring people to the film. I do like this idea, though. I like Cinderella very much - the character and the Disney film.

Who do you think would make a good Cinderella?

Well, perhaps I don't know enough about Amanda Seyfried, but I do know I found Mia Wasikowska not very good in Alice in Wonderland. I know she was supposed to lose some of her veracity, but she just sounded like she didn't know how to properly say some of her lines, or like she was distracted. And in the end when she is supposed to be the full-of-life Alice, she still wasn't good. If you compare her to Walt Disney's Alice, you can see how Katherine Beaumont is much better.
Well, I don't want to risk any chance if anyone stealing my ideas, whether they're good or not...so I can't say anymore (I edited this after some time to remove what little information I gave out).Dr Frankenollie wrote:Could you tell us more about your "Broadway musical" version of Cinderella?

Yes, I saw news about this before, but was hoping it wasn't true/official. This Weitz guy who wrote the pretty awful Golden Compass script has been hired to re-write the script that Aline Brosh Mckenna wrote, the very script that WAS SO GOOD IT SOLD THE IDEA TO DISNEY IN THE FIRST PLACE. And they want to RE-WRITE THAT. Doesn't make any freaking sense. Especially since I thought it was Mckenna's idea in the first place. WTF.

Sounds like the same thing that happened on the production of "Brave".Disney Duster wrote:Yes, I saw news about this before, but was hoping it wasn't true/official.

Weitz wrote Golden Compass, and the company changed it. His original screenplay is available online and it's wonderful. New Line is the fault behind that atrocious adaptationPrince Edward wrote:Sounds like the same thing that happened on the production of "Brave".Disney Duster wrote:Yes, I saw news about this before, but was hoping it wasn't true/official.

Oh thank God. And maybe this is kinda like what happened to Brave...but they trust Linda Woolverton, a woman, to write Mlaeficent like they also did for Alice in Wonderland...nomad2010 wrote:Weitz wrote Golden Compass, and the company changed it.

Source: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118062948?refCatId=13With Cate Blanchett in negotiations to play the evil stepmother in the Mouse House's live-action remake of "Cinderella," the studio has begun narrowing its search for the classic fairy tale's title character, sure to be a star-making role.
The three foreign-born actresses who will soon be testing for director Mark Romanek are established Irish thesp Saoirse Ronan ("The Host"), up-and-coming Swedish thesp Alicia Vikander and Brit thesp Gabriella Wilde, who appeared in "The Three Musketeers" and just wrapped the role of Sue Snell in Sony/MGM's "Carrie" remake.
Chris Weitz ("About a Boy") wrote the pic, which Aline Brosh McKenna ("The Devil Wears Prada") sold to Disney as a pitch back in 2010. Simon Kinberg ("Elysium") is producing the project, which Disney set up in May 2010 following the success of its live-action adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland."
I don't know much that any of the three girls have done. Visually speaking, I think Saoirse Ronan would be a good fit for Cinderella. I think Gabriella Wilde is too typically pretty and would have to have a stripped down face (i.e. little makeup) to look like Cinderella. If they decided to keep Cindy blonde (dipped with strawberry *cough cough*) I can't imagine Alicia Vikande looking good.
Anyway, very exciting that this is moving forward.
