The movie is being produced by James Corden and Leo Pearlman through their Fulwell73 banner.

Based on the fairy tale “Cendrillon” by Charles Perrault, the story of a poor young orphan woman and her fairy godmother was the basis for Disney’s 1950 animated drama “Cinderella”. That film spawned two live-action remakes: 1997’s iteration starring Brandy and Whitney Houston and Kenneth Branagh’s 2015 version with Lily James. Brosnan played James Bond four times between 1995 and 2002 in “GoldenEye”, “Tomorrow Never Dies”, “The World Is Not Enough” and “Die Another Day”. He is starring in “Eurovision” with Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams, and “False Positive”.
