British actress and Mrs. Tim Burton, Helena Bonham Carter, has been confirmed for the role of the Fairy Godmother in Walt Disney Pictures’ upcoming live-action adaptation of CINDERELLA, which will be directed by Kenneth Branagh.
The FIGHT CLUB and LES MISERABLES star joins the previously announced Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett as the wicked stepmother, GAME OF THRONES’ Richard Madden as Prince Charming and Lily James (DOWNTON ABBEY) as the belle of the ball title character.
CINDERELLA has a script by Aline Brosh McKenna and Chris Weitz which will begin shooting in London in a matter of months.
