Camila Cabello As Cinderella

Camila Cabello As Cinderella

Camila Cabello will be making her hollywood acting debut. The Grammy-nominated artist has been cast as the lead in a reimagining of Cinderella from Sony.

The report suggests the Sony feature will be a drastic reimagining of the classic fairytale, reportedly bordering on the edge of a full-blown musical. Sony Pictures' sister company Columbia Records is said to be an integral part of the production as the conglomerate works to get both a movie and stellar soundtrack off the ground.

The decision to cast a Hispanic woman is a significant break from a long tradition of white and usually blonde Cinderellas.

Cabello, a multi-platinum selling and Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter, will also help write the film's songs.

The new take on the storybook classic will be directed by Pitch Perfect writer and Blockers director Kay Cannon. The idea for the upcoming film originally came from late-night host James Corden, known for his popular singing segment, Carpool Karaoke.

Corden will be producing the project with Leo Pearlman, both partners of the film and music production company Fulwell73.
