Camila Cabello to Make Film Debut Starring in Modern Re-Imagining of "Cinderella", Written and Directed by Kay Cannon

Looks like half of her heart won't be the only thing Camila Cabello will be loosing soon - her glass slipper?? (Cinderella joke...)

 Grammy-nominated singer Camila Cabello will be making her film acting debut in a modern adaptation of the classic tale of Cinderella. While multiple Cinderella film adaptations have been made - including an upcoming adaptation titled A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish starring Laura Marano and expected to drop in December - this upcoming Cabello led film will be from Sony Pictures and based on an original idea from comedian and television host James Corden, who will also be producing the film with his partner Leo Pearlman from Fulwell 73.

Not only will Cabello star in the film as *squeaks* a Latina Cinderella, but the Never Be The Same singer will also be "integrally involved in the music for the film", as exclusively reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

The film will be written and directed by Kay Cannon, who's no stranger to doing amazing work with female-led casts in films and TV shows, including writing the Pitch Perfect films, being a writer for New Girl and 30 Rock (which earned her three Emmy nominations), and her 2018 film and directorial debut Blockers.

While The Hollywood Reporter exclusively broke the news, Cannon confirmed the upcoming film by voicing excitement for the collaboration, tweeting not long after the news broke out.



Although currently no details are known about the exact plot of the film (will the evil stepmother have a cat? This cat lady needs to know!), Cannon's untitled Cinderella film will be a modern re-imagining of the classic princess film centered around and driven by music. Sony has already put production of the film on the fast track.

Cabello's starring in this Cinderella remake will not only be special because it will be her film acting debut and it will star a Latina princess, but Cabello had previously written an unreleased song titled "Cinderella"...if it's any more proof that fairy tale dreams can come true.

While I'm generally skeptical about classic films getting remakes, I am genuinely excited for Kay Cannon's second film starring Camila Cabello, and what new take they can bring on the classic tale - whether through Cannon's fresh writing style or Cabello's contribution as a performer.

Are there any other upcoming films directed by female filmmakers that you're currently excited for and looking forward to watch? Do share, because that's caring!

Sincerely, Dora Goto :)

It's Not All Bad News for "Futurama" Fans, Thanks To Show's So-Developer David X. Cohen

JamCity If you are a big fan of Futurama like myself and were saddened by the news that Netflix was removing episodes from the cult-classic futuristic cartoon, then the show's co-developer David X. Cohen has come to the rescue! Recently it's been seen on Netlflix that various seasons of Futurama have been removed (only seasons 6 and 7 remain, which are divided into 2 parts and listed on Netflix as seasons 7 to 10), and naturally Futurama fans took to social media to express their discontent...most utilizing the show's own memes to do so. Before we go any further, I need to get this out of my system: ...There.  (I didn't mean for all the Futurama memes to be just of Professor Farnsworth, it just happened.)  But it's not all "bad news, everyone!" (Get it?!? Okay, I'll get back to the topic...) During a recent  Reddit AMA , the show's creator Matt Groening and head writer David X. Cohen, along with principal voice actor...

Having Breakfast at Tiffany's is NOW OFFICIALLY a Reality

Paramount Pictures If you're a big Aubrey Hepburn fan or simply a fan of good films from the 1960's like Breakfast at Tiffany's , then you'll probably be giddy as I to find out that an actual café store has opened at the fourth floor of the iconic Tiffany & Co. store located in Fifth Avenue in New York City. The café store is called Blue Box Café (rambling a little bit here so you have time to write it down, okay that's enough), officially opened its doors today, and according to a  review by Vogue  of the café's opening, it offers a $29 breakfast menu option that includes coffee and croissant with the "choice of an avocado toast, truffled eggs, or a smoked salmon bagel with schmear." But Blue Box Café will not only offer breakfast options (* very delicious breakfast options ), as  the  Vogue  review  noted that the cafe also offers lunch options at $39 (which include a starter and main course), including the "Charles Lewis Tiffany"...

Four Days After "The Addams Family" Hit Theaters, A Sequel Has Already Been Confirmed

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures Hear that? It's the sound of my mind being blown...or that of me snapping along to the Addams Family theme song. Following the commercial success of this year's animated re-imagining of one of our favorite unconventional families,  The Addams Family , which was released on theaters October 11, Deadline  exclusively confirmed on Tuesday that an animated kooky and spooky sequel is already in the works. In just its opening weekend, The Addams Family has earned $30.3 million from its theatrical releases in the United States and Canada (a little bit more than three-quarters of its $40 million budget), surpassing box office predictions and showing that millions of moviegoers are still interested in catching up with what Gomez Addams and his family are doing once again. In doing so,  The Addams Family also became the second highest grossing film in the domestic box office this weekend, following Joker which earned $55.9 million. While it...
