Walt Disney Studios releases ‘Cinderella’ countdown clip

Written by O’Boyd

What better way to celebrate the countdown to a new year than by counting down to midnight.

Walt Disney has released a new clip for the live-action “Cinderella,” which hits theaters March 26. In it, Cinderella’s fairy godmother explains why it’s important to be home by midnight.

The film stars Lily James (Ella), Cate Blanchett (stepmother), Holly Grainger (Anastasia) and Sophie McShera (Drisella).

New international trailer for Disney’s ‘Cinderella’ remake hits web

Written by O’Boyd

The film is slated to hit theaters on March 13 and looks really interesting. It stars Cate Blanchett, Lily James, Richard Madden and Helena Bonham Carter. A “Frozen” short, “Frozen Forever,” is also slated to be viewed before the “Cinderella” film.

A new international trailer has hit the web with some new and additional footage not seen in the original trailer.

Above is the international trailer. Below is the original first trailer.

New ‘Cinderella’ posters released by Disney; ‘Frozen Fever’ confirmed

Written by O’Boyd

Disney did its part to try to make some noise on a very busy movie day by releasing new posters for “Cinderella” and confirming “Frozen Forever.”

“Cinderella” will hit theaters on March 13, 2015 and will have the short “Frozen Forever” in front of its showing. Disney also did its part to promote the film by releasing four posters (one above and the other three you can see below).

“Frozen Forever” will have all the characters from the film “Frozen” and will center on Anna’s birthday party ending up in trouble when Elsa’s magic ice powers cause problems again. ScreenRant.com reports there will also be original music in the short.
