Cinderella (TBA) Sony Pictures Kay Cannon Movie

Camila Cabello to Star in 'Cinderella' Reimagining From Kay Cannon, Sony (Exclusive)

James Corden came up with the idea for the new story and is producing.

Camila Cabello’s world will never be the same.

The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter is set to make her feature acting debut, teaming up with Kay Cannon, the director of Blockers, for a new telling of the classic fairy tale, Cinderella.

Cabello will not only star in the project, set up at Sony's Columbia label, but also will be integrally involved in the music for the film.

The idea for the new take on Cinderella grew from an original idea from James Corden, the late-night talk show host who has made major musical inroads thanks to his popular "Carpool Karaoke" segments.

Corden is also producing the feature project with Leo Pearlman, his partner at Fulwell 73, the production banner that has found success with documentaries such as The Class of '92, the BAFTA-nominated Bros: After the Screaming Stops and Karaoke. Valence Media is an investor in Fulwell 73, and is also the parent company of The Hollywood Reporter.

Plot details are being kept in a shoebox but the story is described as a modern reimagining of the traditional tale of the orphaned girl with an evil stepmother, with a musical bent thrown in for good measure.

Sony is putting the project on the fast track for production.

Cannon is known for writing the Pitch Perfect musical comedies and got her start working on NBC’s 30 Rock, for which she earned three Emmy nominations. She made her directorial debut with Blockers, a female-centric losing-your-virginity comedy whose cast included Kathryn Newton and John Cena. Cannon is repped by WME and attorney Ken Richman.

Cuba-born Cabello, who was part of girl group Fifth Harmony before going solo, hit superstar status with her massive single, Havana, which hit No. 1 on the Hot 100, Billboard 200 and Artist 100 charts in the same week. It also became Spotify’s most-streamed song ever by a solo female artist with a billion streams. Her debut album, Camila, also broke records when it debuted at No. 1 on 110 iTunes charts around the world. Never Be Same, a single off the album, was a top 10. She is repped by WME and manager Roger Gold.

Yeah, THIS is an idea we haven't had enough of...!

[Creed]

Camilla? Um.....fine, I guess?

Last time I saw a singer/actor be Cinderella, it was entertaining:

[enenra]

hahaha

at least tell me the date so I know when to avoid it

[Falaskan]

The live action Disney version was near perfect. I'd be hard pressed to give this a chance.

[CelluloidPal]

This has all the making of a complete and utter dumpster fire.

[InuYashaCrusade]

Camila Cabello is hot as hell, I'm in.

Probably because someone thinks it will make money?

I know it's a fairly far-fetched guess, but you know ....

[Magic Dusty]

It's modern. Maybe that is how it will be different from the others? But if it's too modern, like set in the 20th or 21st century, I'm not gonna be that interested. I like my Cinderella set "Once upon a time."

By the way, anybody know why my avatar isn't showing up?

Are they still threatening to make this movie?

I'm having difficult time figuring out why it's a threat.

No one's going to force you to see it -- unless you are a critic, or possibly work for the company. A threat is usually more like something along the lines of, "Listen: Give me the money in your wallet, or I'm going to beat you to a pulp."

Then one of two things is *definitely* going to happen to you:

You either lose whatever cash you have, or you beaten up. And depending on how much cash you have, neither of those options is a good one, really.

Here, though: You can either go see the movie or ignore it. One option could either be good or bad in the end; the other option is totally irrelevant as far as you're concerned. How is that threat?

in another 3 years we might see Cinderella in space.

Ok I was hoping for an actual female fairy godmother. I don't know if I will like Billy Porter after seeing him in American Horror Story: Apocalypse. But maybe I'll like him in this role.

So they are making a sequel to Cats then
