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.

Walt Disney has announced that Richard Madden, one of the stars of the hit HBO series Game of Thrones, has been cast in their upcoming live-action take on the Cinderella fairy tale.

Madden, who plays the son of Eddard Stark and the boy who would become King in the North on the show, Robb Stark, is fittingly set to play the prince in this new Cinderella tale. We recently just found out that Downton Abbey star Lily James had been cast as the mistreated Disney princess.

Disney has chosen an actress to take on the iconic role of Cinderella in their new live-action take on the classic fairy tale, Cinderella.

The actress chosen is Lily James, star of the hit ITV and PBS series Downton Abbey, as well as the ITV2/Showtime series Secret Diary of a Call Girl and Wrath of the Titans.

Chris Pine seems to have a bad habit of riding a motorcycle without his helmet. But when you get play as Jack Ryan, I don’t think it really matters. Paramount Pictures has just released the first photo of Pine playing as the titular character in the upcoming film titled Jack Ryan. Check out the full image of Pine below.

Now there is not a lot to take away from this photo alone. The photo is what it is, which is Pine cruising down the streets of New York City on a Ducati (which is a very cool and very fast motorcycle by the way) without his helmet. We don’t know where Jack Ryan is heading, but he seems to be determined to make it to his destination on time, even risking breaking the law to do so.

The Jack Ryan reboot is all ready to go. Kenneth Branagh will direct the film and be the villain as well; it’s got Chris Pine as the lead actor; Keira Knightley as the lead actress; and now the film has a tentative release date.

Paramount even has plans to make Jack Ryan (which is also the title of the film) into a trilogy. Oh yeah, there’s also a spin off titled Without Remorse, and the studio is trying to court Tom Hardy for the lead role. So to say that Paramount has some big plans for Jack Ryan would be an understatement.
