LOS ANGELES:
The film offers a fresh retelling of the timeless fairy tale with a diverse cast featuring singer Camila Cabello in the title role. “We’ve seen many iterations of it over the years, very fine productions, but I think (writer-director) Kay Cannon really nailed it well, embroidered it well, to the times that we’re in now and for the empowerment of young women, and women, and the voices that need to be heard,” Brosnan told the Daily News. The musical comedy, out Friday on Amazon Prime Video, stars Brosnan as King Rowan, a ruler beholden to tradition who pressures his son, Prince Robert, to marry a worthy suitor and one day take over his throne.
Robert becomes enamored by Cinderella, an underestimated aspiring dress designer who prioritizes her career dreams over marrying into royalty. Brosnan, 68, describes his character as “this self-centred, nonchalant, egocentric man who is clinging onto his kingdom and wants more, and really will just sell his son off to anyone.” “Doing so, of course, really cleaves a wedge in the heart of his wife, his queen,” Brosnan explained. “It was lots of wonderful emblems of drama and theatricality to play out.”
