Sony Pictures' Cinderella, starring pop star Camila Cabello in the titular role, will go for a direct digital premiere. The film will skip theatrical release and be streamed on Amazon Prime Video, sometime later this year.

According to reports, Sony was planning a July release in cinema halls, but due to the coronavirus pandemic the studio had chosen to license the film to Amazon Prime. 

Kay Cannon, best known for his Pitch Perfect movie franchise, has written and directed this Cinderella iteration.

The musical fairytale will trace the journey of an orphan who longs to meet her prince charming. Billy Porter portrays Cinderella's fairy godparent and Idina Menzel plays her evil stepmother.

The cast also includes Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Robert, Pierce Brosnan as King Rowan and Minnie Driver as Queen Beatrice.

The film marks Cabello's acting debut. She has also contributed original songs for the movie along with Menzel.
