Given who's writing the movie, I have the feeling that it could potentially be tongue-in-cheek, which would be interesting.
So is it going to be a movie about a guy gallivanting around story land and meeting princess after princess
Stand Fast, Stand Strong, Stand TogetherWell...another non-musical Live-Action dramatised Disney adaptation of a musical-animated Disney adaptation...
SHIT

So a perspective flip of Snow White?
Maleficent 2.0
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!Cinderella was actually pretty good.
I'd actually be down with that. Like a Miles Gloriosus trying to become a hero of a fairy tale.
Can confirm this statement.
Went to see it for Frozen Fever; but the movie itself was well done enough that I think it easily could have been successful whether or not it had a follow up short to one of the biggest movies in recent history attached to it.
And unlike a lot of these live-action remakes, it didn't try to pull any unnecessary revisionist or alternate perspective tricks, it stuck to the heart of what made the original a classic and was satisfied with fleshing out the story in a way that aided the original narrative.
Funny enough, I don't think I've actually seen the original animated version of Cinderella; go figure.
The only think that will make me remotly interested is if they make their first Gay Disney Prince.
If there's really going to be a movie about a prince and his brother I want to see it. It seems like princes are there just to be love interests.
In a Prince Charming movie?
I see no reason why that's a thing that anyone should be expecting to happen with this movie at all.
Prince Charming is Snow White's love interest in all prior Disney media, so.
ACTUALLY, Snow White's Prince is just referred to as 'The Prince' more often than not while 'Prince Charming' is usually in reference to Cinderella's Prince. And then, by Sleeping Beauty, Disney gave his leading men more personality and an actual name; Prince Phillip.
Only reason I said a gay prince is because, otherwise, this looks like it'll be another to the pile of 'Live Action Disney' and break no new ground on anything.

There was apparently a TV spot that was only shown in France that stated Snow White's Prince's name was "Florian" and Cinderella's Prince's was "Henry."
The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and placed his hand on its head: "You are Hagrid now."The dolls you can buy are actually labeled 'The Prince' for Snow White, 'Prince Charming' for Cinderella, and 'The Beast' for Beauty and the Beast so that's what I go by for the animated versions. In Once Upon a Time Snow White's prince is Prince Charming. Why bring up Snow White anyway?
Focusing on princes is a new thing in Disney.
Snow White's Prince has had two names. He was named 'Prince Ferdinand' in early promo material back when the movie first came out. Florian is a more recent namesake that I do not know the source of.
Also, Beauty and the Beast's Prince has been given the name Addam.
Snow White nicknamed her prince "Buckethead" and that's what I'm sticking with.
The live-action Cinderalla movie says "hi".
A movie doesn't need to break new ground to be good and entertaining.
Cinderella was nice because we haven't had the story in awhile and it had good production values and etc.
Now Disney is turning it into a trend. And, with Maleficent and a few of their other Live Action Adaptations being... not good at best, awful at worst, I don't have many hopes.
Especially since Disney has ordered SO MANY of these live action movies at once.
I still don't really see the point in all these live action remakes. The originals are just fine and I don't think anyone has been clamoring for them to be remade, esp in live action.
But this Prince Charming film could be entertaining, considering who's working on it.
My Tumblr "If theirs one thing I'm good at, it's blowing" Jesse Cox 2013There's a very thin line to walk on here. You can make the Prince too Shrek's Charming (pathetic emasculated self-parody), too Fables' Prince (horrible womanizer), or too Hans (too flawed as a human being under his perfection facade) by trying to play around with his trope, and if you don't, you can easily end up with just an old cardboard prince anyway.

In the sequels, animated Charming got to do stuff like this.
I think I'd actually watch an hour and a half of that guy.
"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.oh man, yes. I adored Cinderella three's Prince. King says you can't take another step down the stairs? jump out the window! birds and mice keep trying to kidnap you? better listen to what they have to say, and explain that to dad. I would love a whole movie of him just being a dork and maybe fighting evil.
Got a degree in Emotional trauma via fictional characters aka creative writing. hosting S'mores party in Hell for fellow (evil) writersOf ALL the Goddamn things, Cinderella 3 actually had the characters fight for their futures and love.
The most common complaint of the two got shot in the face.
Accidentally placed this in Western Animation thread.
Prince Charming, the archetypal fairytale hero, has actually been brought to the big screen by Disney a few times in recent months. Richard Madden played the Prince in the Branagh film while Chris Pine and Billy Magnussen played dueling iterations of the role (one Rapunzel’s Prince and one Cinderella’s Prince) in Rob Marshall’s Into the Woods.
The Prince Charming movie joins a number of live-action Disney fairy tale films heading to the big screen. Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book hits theaters April 15, 2016 with the aforementioned Beauty and the Beast following on March 17, 2017. After that, plans call for a Tim Burton-directed Dumbo and new live-action versions of Winnie the Pooh, Mulan, Pinnochio and more. There’s also a sequel to Alice in Wonderland on the way with Alice Through the Looking Glass (arriving May 27, 2016), reports of one for Maleficent in development as well and a live-action Peter Pan spinoff, Tink, set to star Reese Witherspoon as the iconic fairy.
