3 new character posters released for Cinderella

Three character posters have been released for Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of Cinderella.

The new posters feature Cate Blanchett as the Wicked Stepmother and Holliday Grainger & Sophie McShera as the Stepsisters, Helena Bonham Carter as The Fairy Godmother and Lily James as Ella and Richard Madden as The Prince.

Cinderella will be released on 27th March 2015 and is directed by Kenneth Branagh. The synopsis for the film is:

The story of ā€œCinderellaā€ 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 Ellaā€™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 motherā€™s dying words and to ā€œhave courage and be kind.ā€ 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 Ellaā€™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 ā€“ armed with a pumpkin and a few mice ā€“ changes Cinderellaā€™s life forever.
