Kay Cannon on ‘Cinderella’: ‘I flipped it on its head’
The Hindu
The director of the latest live action version of the fairytale says she started with a traditional base and added modern twists
What is the crux of the Cinderella story — is it the ball where a magically-transformed Cinderella dances the night away with captivated Prince or the glass slipper that she leaves behind and which the prince uses to find his belle de ball? “I would pick the ball over the slipper,” says Kay Cannon who has directed Cinderella, the latest live action version of the fairytale starring Camila Cabello. “So much happens in the ball. That is where Cinderella finds love. The ball is the culmination of the magic, amazing-ness, aspiration and beauty. When you leave the ball, the magic goes away and the slipper stays.”
