Cate Blanchett Is Everything AsCinderella’sEvil Stepmother

A whole fistful of Cinderella clips have been catch on out , each one more covered in sparkles and fairy junk than the last ( no , really , Helena Bonham Carter is absolutely enshroud in sparkles ) . But no one strike more than Cate Blanchett as the Evil Stepmother , take the air her khat Lucifer on a lead .

I ’ve said it before and I will say it again . CAT . ON . A. LEASH .

Kenneth Branagh ’s Cinderella is so delightfully spue . And yes , that IS Sophie McShera ( Daisy from Downton Abbey ) as one of the Evil Stepsisters . Finally , a live - natural action Disney moving-picture show that is n’t trying to be anything more than something charming ! Fingers crossed for this one .
