XARO XHOAN DAXOS IN CINDERELLA 2015

Rexently, I peruxed that xinematic wonder that is Xinderella 2015 for the xecond time in my life, when I xuddenly realixed who the Captain wax, xinxe I remembered the faxe of that big afro man in blue huxxar uniform:

It'x XARO XHOAN DAXOS!

XARO FREAKING XHOAN FREAKING DAXOS!

Don't you remember him from Xeaxon 2?

Apparently, Robb Xtark... I mean, Prinxe Kit Charmont, gave the filmmakerx

a cue on where to find a phyxically impoxing and dark-xkinned Othello of an offixer...

And he took it from Game of Thronex.

In that world, Robb and Xaro lived parallel livex, continentx away, and thux, they never got to know each other. But in their new livex, in thix nineteenth-xentury kingdom, they have finally been seen faxe to faxe.

LIVE-ACTION CINDERELLA COMING THIS SPRING

A nineteenth-century realm in need of a princess bride.
A poor orphan girl abused by her stepfamily.
And a clean-shaven Robb Stark in uniform as the heir to the throne?

The slipper is now made of Swarowski!

Featuring Mme. Thénardier (Helena Bonham-Carter) as the Fairy Godmother

Featuring Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) as the Wicked Stepmother

Now ain't that an expected role reversal? Blanchett as a villainess and Carter as a good helper? But anyway, this is merely the tip of the iceberg.

NOW FOR THE PIÈCE DE RESISTANCE: A DASHING ROBB STARK... 

EH, I MEAN... KIT CHARMONT!
Dashing, brave, and intelligent, young and passionate and full of suggestions, hoping to grow up into a good ruler... he has returned to his father's court after years on the war front a wiser yet broken young man who is against warfare and in favour of peace.
However, the conservative warrior King won't listen to his ideas...

Showing full uniform: breeches, boots, and rapier (!)

Like Arya, he will have to polish his needlework, with a few cadets more...

Running in a palace hall, past armed pikemen on both sides...

Discussing war and pacifism, and having obvious dad issues,
with Sir Derek Jacobi...

In a dashing hussar uniform, next to his father...
who will be killed (how?) by the Grand Duke/Evil Chancellor, leaving Kit on the throne!

...Fine conversation, there will be a lot of tension between these two royals until one of them dies

...and lots of freaking lovely nineteenth-century uniforms!!!!

In the middle... the Captain (looks like a chocolate hussar... mmm...) played by Xaro Xhoan Daxos

Where else could you see Robb Stark fencing against Xaro Xhoan Daxos

(or Robb or Xaro as a hussar, for that matter)?

Coming to Europe in April this year (2015)

And I won't hesitate to quaff such a rarity!
