Lily James Gets a Taste of What Midnight Brings in New 'Cinderella' Teaser

Cinderella (Lily James) stops during her chores at the sight of something peculiar in this new still from Walt Disney’s upcoming Cinderella.

The story of “Cinderella” follows the fortunes of young Ella whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and Drisella (Sophie McShera) into the family home. But, when Ella’s father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family.

Finally relegated to nothing more than a servant girl covered in ashes, and spitefully renamed Cinderella, Ella could easily begin to lose hope. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella is determined to honor her mother’s dying words and to “have courage and be kind.” She will not give in to despair nor despise those who mistreat her. And then there is the dashing stranger she meets in the woods — unaware that he’s the Prince (Richard Madden)!

Cinderella opens in theaters on March 13th, so be sure to check out the latest teaser below!
