Cinderella (Live-Action)

[Disney Duster]

There will be a 4K Ultra HD edition of the live-action Cinderella (2015). This is to tie-in with the animated Cinderella (1950) Signature Collection release, and it is the first of the Disney live-action remakes to get a 4K release.



Here's some info on it: Cinderella 4K Blu-ray

No release date yet, but June 25, 2019 is a predicton.

I'm not really a fan of the cover but I'm glad it isn't the poster art they always use.

[Disney Duster]

Oh...huh...and to think I actually now would just prefer the slipper poster as the cover. Oh well...I guess I'll get it.

This will be a day-one purchase for me, although I doubt it will have new bonus features.

Nice to see Kit on the cover, although I'd prefer if it were the shot they used on the DVD cover.

It's funny you say that because a lot of people on Blu-ray.com said this would be day one for them too! I would also prefer the Ella and the Prince poster as the cover art, but what I would like most would be some photo they never showed of Ella transforming on a black background with the fairy dust like a galaxy like in the film.

I like that they call this film a modern classic!

I wish they would leave the original Cinderella's dress alone. It looks like a balloon that's deflating.

That's cool, Sotiris!

Thank you Sotiris! I love all those costumes! I guess they were partly put together for Cinderella's 70th Anniversary.

I didn't know this, from Wikipedia:

Lily James[...] also won the 2015 Breakthrough Award at the Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year Awards.

That's awesome!

So pleased to hear Lily James was honored for this role! I can't think of many other live-action remakes which received any awards of distinction like this one.

[Disney Duster]

I don't know wanna go through every live-action film on Wikipedia to research that...lol

[JeanGreyForever]

I'll compare directly to the live-action BATB because Cinderella gets compared to that film the most. Emma Watson won an MTV Movie Award and a Teen Choice Award. Frankly, I don't put much weight into either of those lol. They're nice and all but they don't mean much and generally whoever is most popular on social media and with teens is the winner.

As for the live-action Aladdin, Naomi Scott also won a Teen Choice Award.

[Disney Duster]

Yes, I would rather someone from a film I liked won a Harper's Bazaar Breakthrough award than an MTV or Teen Choice award....

[JeanGreyForever]

Lily was nominated for a Teen Choice Award but she didn't win. That doesn't surprise me because unlike BATB and Aladdin, Cinderella was not a big hit amongst teens and I don't remember a lot of discourse about it on social media. That's typically only for the 90s films when it comes to the remakes.

[Disney Duster]

True.

It turns out Sandy Powell did consider making a white ball gown for Cinderella. I wonder if it was her idea on her own, or if it was because she realized the dress looked white sometimes in the animated movie, or both or what:

“I knew I didn't want to do pink. I just didn't want to do a big pink dress,” Powell says. “I then went through every other color and then I thought well it could be white, but, no it can't be that because we have a wedding scene to do later and that really should really be the light colored dress. After that I kind of got a bit stuck on thinking green would be wrong, yellow would be wrong, red would be wrong. I came back to blue because it actually is the most attractive color and it just seemed appropriate. Then of course it went back to the fact that the original one is blue. And then once I've come to that conclusion I realized there's no way in the world I could have made it any color other than blue because it just is. Cinderella's ball gown is blue. And I think there would have been like millions of little girls around the world like horribly disappointed or telling me I've done it wrong.”

Seems to me like she thought the original was blue and nothing else, she didn't even consider silver and I'm kind of surprised she even had a choice in the matter.
