The clip also shows Cinderella鈥檚 first meeting with the prince while riding.

鈥淣ever mind what they call me,鈥� she says when he asks for her name.

Branagh discussed the ball scene specifically when interviewed about the movie for E!.听

鈥淟ife can be pretty rough sometimes and it's a wonderful thing to be able to invite the world to the ball," he said. "And then, from the inside, we've given it a contemporary feel that is human and humane and strangely enough, not built around the idea that Cinderella's life depends on finding a man or things, like clothes or a title, or just hoping this magic will come along. It's much more about who she is, what she feels about herself, and taking that kind of sort of spiritual cue to make it refreshing in a contemporary way.鈥澛�

He also discussed the place of otherworldly elements in the story in an interview with the website .听

鈥淚 wanted it to feel fresh,鈥� Branagh said of the story.听鈥淚 wanted it to feel very contemporary.听 I wanted it to feel very direct, but I also wanted it to have its classical roots, in a world and period that鈥檚 some distance from us: enough distance to accept some magic.鈥澛�

鈥淐inderella鈥� opens on March 13.
