Walt Disney Pictures has announced that principle production has begun on Cinderella, a live-action feature take on the classic fairy tale story being directed by Kenneth Branagh (Thor, Jack Ryan). Disney previously turned the fairy tale in a beloved animated feature back in 1950.

In celebration of the start of filming, a first image has been released showing star Lily James (Downton Abbey, Wrath of the Titans) as the titular character. You can check out the first image and read a description below.

  1. So, will this Cinderella be a “tough smart independent” woman who can “take care of herself” and “kick-butt”?
