Sony has a date for Kay Cannon‘s re-imagination of Cinderella starring multi-platinum pop star and GRAMMY nominee, Camila Cabello is set to open wide on February 5, 2021.
Cinderella will mark Cabello’s feature acting debut. The 22-year-old singer first entered her journey to fame as being the lead singer for the group Fifth Harmony, and has since pursued a solo career that is destined to superstardom!
Cinderella is a musical comedy, and Cabello’s version is described as “an ambitious young woman whose dreams are bigger than the world will allow.”
Late-night host James Corden inspired the original idea and will serve as a producer with Leo Pearlman. Cannon is set to direct.
There is no doubt that Cabello will play an integral role in creating the film’s soundtrack. The movie will be a modern musical take on the classic Cinderella story– Disney’s original animated film premiered in 1950. After that, many adaptations have followed including a live-action movie starring Brandy in 1997, and a live-action film with Lily James in 2015.
Other films and music videos Cabello is credited with include Bright (2017), The Fate of the Furious (2017), the music videos Camila Cabello feat, Young Thug: Havana (2017), and Camila Cabello feat, Quavo: OMG (2017.

After her start with X-Factor and leaving the Fifth Harmony group, she debuted her solo album in 2017, whose single “Crying in the Club” peaked at number 47 in the U.S. Refocusing her sound to Latin-influenced music thereafter, her debut studio album “Camila” (2018) debuted at number on the Billboard 200 chart.
Cabello has also released several collaborations, “Hey Ma” with Pitbull and J Balvin for The Fate of the Furious soundtrack.
In just 11 months, Cabello had amassed numerous awards and had won a total of 18 awards, became a multi-platinum artist with over 50 certifications, sold over 17 million units and gained over 4 billion combined YouTube and Spotify streams all without an album out.
