Cinderella’s Stepmom

News from Down Under adjacent has Cate Blanchett in line to star as Cinderella’s evil stepmother in a forthcoming live-action take of the Disney property.

Well, word didn’t necessarily spread up from New Zealand where the actress just helped premiere The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, but, y’ know...saying so adds to the drama.

Blanchett’s is the first boldfaced name to be mentioned, as far as casting is concerned, for the Mark Romanek-directed project, which was first announced two years ago.

Chris Weitz (About a Boy) is writing the script.
