Singer-songwriter Camila Cabello will star in the re-telling of “Cinderella” by writer-director Kay Cannon for Sony Pictures.
Cabello will be involved in the music for the project, which grew out of an original idea from James Corden, host of The Late Show With Jame Corden. The film will be produced by Corden and Leo Pearlman through their Fulwell73 banner.
