IGN: We’ve grown accustomed to the fairytale redux. From 1998’s Ever After: A Cinderella Story, to Fables in comics, television’s Once Upon a Time, last year’s Maleficent, this year’s cinematic adaptation of Into The Woods, and macabre modernizations such as Reese Witherspoon’s Freeway, “Happily Ever Afters” generally come with a twist. So it’s surprising and somewhat refreshing for a film to simply tell the classic version of a story – and do it well.
Director Kenneth Branagh utilizes the previous depictions of Cinderella as a framework and then brings the story to vivid life by crafting a bright, whimsical dreamscape where even the darker aspects of the tale are softened by magic and optimism. The director is most notably drawing on Disney’s now classic animated version.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
