Disney Wants Mark Romanek’s Take On ‘Cinderella’

The success of Alice In Wonderland made Disney execs’ pupils mutate into the shape of dollar signs and caused their bowties to spin like fan blades. So, it only makes sense that they are planning a new take on Cinderella.

They’ve approached Mark Romanek with a script from Th Devil Wears Prada scribe Aline Brosh McKenna under their arm, in the hopes that the Never Let Me Go director will agree to take the lead. In this update, the prince is set for a politically arranged marriage until he meets and falls in love with Cinderella, despite her pumpkin car and rodent friends. We can’t choose who we love, Dad!

Nothing Is Sacred To Ke$ha, Including ‘Cinderella’

Ke$ha’s a real terror, ain’t she? From glitter, to ripped t-shirts, to mundane tasks like brushing your teeth (seriously? Jack Daniels? Your molars are going to fall out of your skull!), she’s fine with desecrating everything we find near and dear and familiar, and Walt Disney classics are no exception. She has partnered with the good folks at Funny or Die to unleash her own personal brand of hell onto Cinderella. The concept and execution are strong enough to distract from the fact that you’re watching a video starring Ke$ha. And that is a commendable feat. NSFW, sort of. Less NSFW if you wear headphones at work. (Vulture)
