Cinderella (Lily James) meets her animated form in this new mashed up trailer from Disney.
The company put the trailers side by side in a fun little video and it almost matches up perfectly!
Via Deadline, the new movie, starring Lily, Richard Madden and Cate Blanchett is “on track for an opening day of $23M with a revised industry estimated three-day of $70.5M. Among all Disney films opening in March, Cinderella will rank as the third highest behind Alice in Wonderland ($116.1M) and Oz The Great and Powerful ($79.1M).”
Lily James keeps it classy in white at a special screening of her latest film Cinderella held at the Scotiabank Theatre on Wednesday (March 11) in Toronto, Canada.
The 25-year-old actress recently revealed that she originally auditioned to play Anastasia, one of the step-sisters in the Kenneth Branagh-directed flick.
“I originally went in to play Anastasia, one of the step-sisters, and I was really into it. I remember practicing the night before and I put on my most garish pink-orange tie-dye jumper,” Lily told Time. “I was really up for playing a character where you didn’t have to worry about being pretty, and you could just be more quirky and comical. But then when I was there, the casting director said, ‘You should just read for Ella while you’re here,’ and I did. And it just felt right. In the breakdown of the character, Kenneth said she had a generous spirit. I met Ken, and then I did screen tests—the whole thing took a few months, actually, until finding out. And in the screen test, in one of them, Ken played Prince Charming, which was so cool—he’s a really good Prince Charming.
FYI: Lily is wearing a Dior dress, Aquazzura pumps, and a Olympia Le-Tan Cinderella book clutch.

Lily James takes the spotlight in a gorgeous gown at the premiere of Cinderella held at Antara Polanco on Thursday night (March 5) in Mexico City, Mexico.
The 25-year-old actress was joined by her Prince, Richard Madden at the event and the day after (March 6) at the photo call.
“When it was on we would be on continuous days so we wouldn’t stop for lunch or a lovely tea. … You’d be sort of eating on the move,” Lily recently shared about wearing a corset during the production.
She continued, “In that case, I couldn’t untie the corset. So if you ate food it didn’t really digest properly and I’d be burping all afternoon in Richard‘s face, and it was just really sort of unpleasant. I’d have soup so that I could still eat but it wouldn’t get stuck.”

She added, “I love the curves. I think it’s very old and 40s, the way it goes in and out. It’s what made me feel like I could be a princess.”
