Cenerentola (Live Action), Walt Disney Pictures Opzioni

[-kekkomon-]

Deadline riporta una grossa novità in casa Disney: la major sta pensando di portare sul grande schermo in live action un altro classico della propria libreria di animazione: Cenerentola.

Secondo il sito, il successo di un film come Alice in Wonderland (che sta per arrivare al miliardo di dollari di incassi in tutto il mondo) ha convinto la compagnia a sviluppare altri suoi cartoon come lungometraggi con attori dal vivo ed effetti visivi, in linea con il nuovo obiettivo a lungo termine della major quanto a produzioni (ovvero solo film d'intrattenimento per tutta la famiglia).

Ad occuparsi dell'adattamento sarà Aline Brosh McKenna, sceneggiatrice del Diavolo Veste Prada e di 27 Dresses, e della commedia Morning Glory. L'accordo, siglato dalla grande agenzia CAA, sarebbe a "sette zeri". Sarà Simon Kinberg a produrre il film, non è ancora chiaro quanto l'adattamento rimarrà fedele alla fiaba originale e se verrà girato in stereoscopia (anche se sembra ormai scontato).

Disney Pays Seven-Figures For Aline Brosh McKenna's Live-Action 'Cinderella' Pitch

EXCLUSIVE: After Disney’s new version Alice in Wonderland turned in a 3D record breaking opening weekend of $116 million and became a global juggernaut, there has been a resurgence of movie interest in timeless classics. For instance, there is a stampede for public domain literary properties like The Wizard of Oz, and Warner Bros is mulling a new version. Universal Pictures is trying to figure out when to unveil a movie version of the stage musical smash Wicked. Now Disney has made a 7-figure pitch deal for Cinderella, the working title of a live action reimagining of the classic fairy tale to be written by Aline Brosh McKenna. She’s the scribe behind The Devil Wears Prada and 27 Dresses, and the upcoming Paramount comedy Morning Glory, and We Bought a Zoo, the Fox comedy which Cameron Crowe will direct–with Fox just setting a December 23, 2011 release date.

Simon Kinberg will produce the new version of Cinderella. The deal is the first that CAA has made for Brosh McKenna since signing her in March. Disney, of course, made the 1950 animated classic Cinderella, and, though the project was shopped around town, it fit the Rich Ross/Disney branded family film mandate like, well, a glass slipper. Being kept under wraps is whether the film will be 3D, or whether there’ll be deviations from the original Cinderella story. That Cinderella storyline isn’t virgin territory: in recent years, Fox used the concept for the Drew Barrymore-starrer Ever After and Warner Bros used it for the Hilary Duff-starrer A Cinderella Story.

Brosh McKenna and Kinberg began working together on a production rewrite on Date Night, and liked the experience enough to make a $2 million deal last fall for an untitled pitch they are writing for Paramount and Bad Robot partners JJ Abrams and Bryan Burk.

Così come Alice è stato poco interessante, per me, anche il resto, comprendendo Maleficent e Cinderella, versione "innovativa"...lascerei stare
