Disney Negotiating With Kenneth Branagh to Direct Cinderella

Disney may have found it’s Prince Charming to save it’s planned adaptation of Cinderella. Just weeks after original director Mark Romanek left, rumors have it that Disney is negotiating with Kenneth Branaghh to keep the film on schedule to start shooting in London this Fall.

The Hobbit star Cate Blanchett will remain in the movie as the wicked stepmother, though the film is still looking to find the right fit for it’s title role. The live film Cinderella was originally set up in 2011, after Disney had made a billion dollars from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.

If all goes according to plan, Cinderella could be in theaters in 2014. Which coincidentally would be exactly a hundred years after Mary Pickford played the role for Paramount Pictures, in Hollywood’s first adaptation of the ancient tale.
