This seems like a desperate attempt to pacify Blanchett. Disney wants a filmmaker that will excite her enough to keep her aboard the project and also understands how to craft populist entertainment. Branagh seems to fit the bill. He's a respected director who appreciates the importance of performance, given that he's also an actor, and has newfound box office kudos thanks to 'Thor'. However, he's also busy and has other projects, so it is difficult to see how he'll be able to fit the project into his schedule.

Let's hope the film isn't rote, has an interesting angle, and features proper set design instead of that CGI crap from Alice in Wonderland.

Blanchett and Branagh! Amazing! Hope Cinderella is cast well. and yes, it would be awesome to see twins as the steps sisters. but they weren't in the other disney version. does that matter?

Would be awesome if they cast twins as the step sisters.
