Movie debuts September 3 on Prime Video
Debuting on Prime Video this Friday (the same day it opens in theaters), this modern, non-Disney take on the classic fairy tale is a live-action musical starring pop star Camila Cabello in her acting debut. She plays the title role (obviously), a young woman who seeks to launch a fashion business while escaping the clutches of her abusive stepmother (Idina Menzel). Relatively unknown English actor Nicholas Galitzine plays Prince Robert, Pierce Brosnan and Minnie Driver are the King and Queen, and Billy Porter is the fairy godparent. Missy Elliott and James Corden also appear in the film, which is written and directed by Kay Cannon (Pitch Perfect, Blockers, 30 Rock). Music in the film will blend original songs with covers of an eclectic range of pop songs. (How eclectic? The soundtrack includes Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation," Queen's "Somebody to Love," Earth Wind and Fire's "Shining Star," and the White Stripes' " Seven Nation Army," among others.)
