Nickelodeon USA To Premiere "A Cinderella Story" On Friday 24th July 2015

The television listings website Zap2it is reporting the exciting Nick News that Nickelodeon USA will debut the movie "A Cinderella Story", starring Hilary Duff, on Friday 24th July 2015 at 8:00pm ET/PT!

"A Cinderella Story" (2004) follows high school student Sam Montgomery (Hilary Duff), a tomboyish, unpopular girl at school who scrubs floors at her family's diner, who copes with her wicked stepmother and stepsisters, and all the while dreams of Princeton (the perfect spot for a would-be princess to find a prince). But maybe she has a Prince Charming already: her anonymous text and e-mail buddy (Chad Michael Murray), who arranges to meet her at the Halloween dance. Sam panics when Mr. Anonymous turns out to be the coolest guy on campus. Can he love a girl who isn't part of the in crowd? Can fairy tales come true? Sure - but only if Sam stands up for herself and turns her dreams into reality.

"A Cinderella Story" also stars Jennifer Coolidge, Dan Byrd, Regina King, Julie Gonzalo, Lin Shaye, Madeline Zima, Andrea Avery, Mary Pat Gleason, Paul Rodriguez, Whip Hubley, Kevin Kilner, Erica Hubbard, Simon Helberg, Brad Bufanda, Kady Cole and Hannah Robinson. The movie is directed by Mark Rosman, written by Leigh Dunlap, and executive produced by Michael I. Rachmil, Peter Greene and Keith Giglio.
