Exclusive: Minnie Driver opens up about why she took her role in Camila Cabello's Cinderella adaptation. 'I love these women who are apparently oppressed by their positions, but ultimately triumph because they're such bloody good people.'
Minnie Driver explains why she starred in Camila Cabello's Cinderella movie. The modern twist on the fairy tale sees the classic princess as an enterprising and independent heroine, eager to start her own dressmaking business. Though Cinderella ultimately does fall in love with and end up with the Prince in this version, she sets the terms for the relationship and is able to pursue her dreams, allowing the Prince's sister to claim the throne.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY With an all-star cast including Idina Menzel, Pierce Brosnan, Minnie Driver, Billy Porter, and James Corden, Cinderella stars pop singer Camila Cabello as the titular princess.
"I love these women who are apparently oppressed by their positions, but ultimately triumph because they're such bloody good people. That's fun. I like being part of things that I know people are going to enjoy. That's the reason I did Cinderella, and it's definitely the reason that I wanted to be part of Rosaline as well. I just know people are going to have a wonderful time and love it, and we need that right now. We need people to feel happy and better.
Why Modern Twist On Classic Tales Like Cinderella Are So Enticing Cinderella is one of many modern takes on old stories, proving Driver's point about audiences enjoying that genre of work. The audience score for the film on Rotten Tomatoes, a 59 percent, is also slightly better than the 42 percent critics score, showing that casual viewers did appreciate the film more than their more critical counterparts.
Films of this nature work because they reframe dated narratives to take on a new relevance, but also because combining classic and traditional storylines with modern-day characters and problems is often hilarious due to the inherent irony and contrast at play. Additionally, audience familiarity with the classic tales allows for inside jokes with viewers, dramatic irony, and the inclusion of new, overlooked perspectives that add nuance to the original stories.
