another cinderella story

last september saw the release of the made-for-dvd film another cinderella story, wich cast selena in the role of mary santiago, more or less the cinderella of this tale.
describes warner home video of the movie," it's musical.it's magical. it's another cinderella story, the dancing, ever-after fairy tale. in this joyous update, selena gomez ( wizards of waverly place) is mary, a modern cinderella complete with dancing shoes instead of a glass slipper. drew seeley ( high school musical) is joey, a prince charming and dreamy new-guy-in-school looking or a girl to love. could mary be that girl? with your kind of music and dance, your kind of romance and all kinds of surprises, you'll find that another cinderella story is a perfect fit".
as director damon santostefano explains it," the idea essentially was to take the cinderella fable and retell it. in doing that, it very much turned out to be not so much a sequel of a cinderella story, but rather a completely new retelling of a modern day extrapolation of the fable. on top of that, it's a dance musical, so it's really the comedy dance musical version of the cinderella fable. it's very much an entirely different story and required a totally different actress for the role.
