Disney has released the trailer for their live action Cinderella, starring Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter and Downton's Lily James as the title character

A flame-haired Blanchett looks suitably austere as the evil stepmother Lady Tremaine whilst Helena Bonham Carter brings a little quirk to the Fairy Godmother. Prince Charming, meanwhile, is played by Game of Thrones' Robb Stark.

It looks like director Kenneth Branagh is bringing an old-school, faithful to the fairytale big screen adaptation although that's not to say it doesn't look visually spectacular.  It hits Irish screens on March 27 next year.
