HOLLIDAY GRAINGER IS
CINDERELLA'S EVIL STEP SISTER
The latest one to join Kenneth Branagh's and Disney's live action movie version of CINDERELLA is gorgeous Holliday Grainger from THE BORGIAS! Colour me shocked, but instead playing the title role (doesn't she have a flawless face for it?) she will play one of the evil stepsisters! The role of CINDERELLA has already gone to Lily James, a relatively unknown British actress. The rest of the cast is glorious including Cate Blanchett as the evil stepmother and GAME OF THRONES superstar and the king of North Richard Madden who will play the prince. DOWNTON ABBEY star Sophie McShera is in talks to play the other evil sister. Holliday is currently without a job since THE BORGIAS have finally been cancelled earlier this month. She is no stranger to ball gowns since she starred in recent ANNA KARENINA, in JANE EYRE and GREAT EXPECTATIONS. It's interesting to add that Joe Wright who directed Grainger in ANNA KARENINA is preparing a movie adaptation of another fairy tale - THE LITTLE MERMAID! DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS
SOFIA VERGARA & REESE WITHERSPOON
Casting news come from DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS too! Produced by Reese Witherspoon, who is also taking one of the two leading roles, the film will also star Sofia Vergara. The two of them will play 
a female cop and prisoner who go on the run together in Texas, trying to outrun a group of corrupt police officers. It is interesting that Universal Pictures has spent quite a lot of money on the script for this movie.
