New International Cinderella Trailer Online

Kenneth Branagh invites us to the ball

What's Christmas without some sort of version of Cinderella? With that festive notion in mind, Disney have released a new extended trailer for Kenneth Branagh's take on the famous fairytale. Pay attention to this Belgian version and you'll spot some footage we haven't seen in previous promos.

Branagh’s take on the classic tale looks to be holding to the traditional story. Young Ella (Lilly James) sees her merchant father remarry following the tragic death of her mother. Keen to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new stepmother Lady Tremaine (Cate Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and Drizella (Sophie McShera) into the family home.

She’s then turned into a domestic servant (families, eh?), meets a charming royal bloke (Richard Madden), falls in lurve, scores a chance to go to the ball he’s throwing via the Fairy Godmother (Helena Bonham Carter), has a glass slipper wardrobe malfunction and... Well, we can’t tell you the whole story, can we? It’s a tightly kept secret that definitely hasn’t been out there for eons.{Cinderella Character Posters}

Chris Weitz wrote the script for this new take, and Cinderella will head to UK cinemas on March 27, 2015.

New Star Trek 3 Directors Shortlist

Rupert Wyatt and Justin Lin in the frame

Following series writer Roberto Orci vacating the director's chair we've seen a rumour about Edgar Wright stepping up and some optimistic noises from Jonathan Frakes, who volunteered to throw his hat into the ring. Deadline, however, believe they've unearthed Paramount's true current directors shortlist for the as-yet untitled Star Trek 3. The names they've jotted down are Rupert Wyatt, Morten Tyldum, Daniel Espinosa, Justin Lin and Duncan Jones (Wright and Frakes are conspicuous by their absence).

Jones has already counted himself out. Sounding somewhat shellshocked from his massive Warcraft experience, he tweeted, "Very flattering being on shortlist for Star Trek, but won't be doing it. Absolutely MUST make my own thing next or I'll die of old age."

Wyatt has summer sci-fi previous in Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, but is currently in pre-production on his TV series Echo Chamber. So he may also be unlikely.

Lin is currently filming the opening episodes of True Detective's second season, and has any number of other projects at various stages of development. He's even been rumoured as returning to his signature Fast & Furious franchise, although where that goes after next years Furious 7, and whether Lin would be interested in that backwards step remains to be seen.

Which leaves the comparative wild cards of Espinosa (Snabba Cash, Safe House, Child 44) and Tyldum (Headhunters, The Imitation Game). Both are international names who'd be making the leap from mid-budget dramas and thrillers to a mega-FX blockbuster. But they're both intriguing choices.

As ever, we’ll have to wait and see who eventually does take on the task; it may be none of the above. But with Paramount looking to have Star Trek 3 (or 13, if you prefer) shooting next year ready for a 2016 release (to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the franchise as a whole), someone needs to be in place soon...

Hugh Jackman In Talks For X-Men: Apocalypse

The universe is not surprised

With X-Men: Apocalypse once more focusing in on the First Class X-Men rather than the original crew, there were questions in some quarters about whether Hugh Jackman's Wolverine would make an appearance. Those questions have not yet been definitively answered, but Jackman has just revealed that talks are certainly underway regarding his appearance or otherwise in the next instalment.

"There's still a lot unknown about that, actually," he told Josh Horowitz on The Happy Sad Podcast. "I have been speaking to the guys and I'm not at liberty to say exactly what's going on, [but] there are some very exciting things about integrating the whole X-Men world, including the Wolverine movie. There are some really cool things going on."

Last we saw of Logan in X-Men: Days Of Future Past (spoiler crybabies look away now) he had woken up in a future timeline where everything was OK again. But the other younger Wolverine, earlier in his own personal timeline, had been taken into the custody of Mystique disguised as Stryker. So there's clearly plot to pick up in whichever time period we meet him next, should Bryan Singer and Simon Kinberg choose to go there.

Also in the works, of course, is the third standalone Wolverine movie, which may itself choose to tug those threads. Again, Huge can't say anything, other than to enthuse he's "very, very excited" and that he and writer David James Kelly are hard at work figuring it out.

If we had to take a punt we'd suggest we're looking at a cameo (although possibly a larger one than his three-word First Class gag) in Apocalypse leading into the full-blown Wolverine 3. But anything goes at this point. We will, of course, keep you posted.
