“Pose” star Billy Porter will be playing the Fairy Godmother in Sony Pictures’ live-action reimagining of “Cinderella” starring Camila Cabello, the “Pose” star confirmed to the folks over at “Today” on Saturday.
Kay Cannon is directing the film, in which Cabello will play the title role, and Idina Menzel is in talks to play the evil stepmother. James Corden will produce alongside Leo Pearlman through their Fulwell 73 banner.
Corden came up with the original idea, and Cabello, who will have her acting debut in this film, will also be involved with original music for the film. Details on the storyline are being kept under wraps, but…it’s Cinderalla so I doubt there will be any major changes to the original storyline.
Porter is best know for his starring role in FX’s “Pose” for which he recently won an Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series Primetime Emmy. Are you excited to see this film? Will you be tuned in?
