Norwegian singer Astrid S will play the title role in a modern-day remake of the 1973 Czech film. TV director and actress Cecilie Mosli (the TV series Thin Ice) is now shooting a new family film entitled Three Wishes for Cinderella. The project, a modern remake of the 1973 Czech feature of the same name directed by Václav Vorlíček, was penned by Kamilla Krogsveen and Karsten Fullu alongside writing duo Anna Bache-Wiig and Siv Rajendram Eliassen.
