Atlantic was the reason for their not being a soundtrack released:

QuoteNeil Meron: We all wanted to release an album. There is an album just about done and ready.

Paolo Montalban: Ah, the elusive soundtrack. The thing is gorgeous. I?ve heard it.

Craig Zadan: About a year before Whitney passed, I visited her in Atlanta. She confided in me that her favorite project in her career was "Cinderella," and that the heartbreak of her career was "Cinderella." It didn?t make sense to her that there was no album, she just couldn?t understand.

Neil Meron: There was a pissing match between Brandy?s label, Atlantic, and Whitney?s label, Arista.

Debra Martin Chase: It was Atlantic that didn?t want to do it. Clive Davis at Arista was like, "We should do it just because it?s so great. It just deserves to be released." He really tried to convince Atlantic, but Atlantic thought that it would hurt Brandy?s recording career. Because it was so poppy and mainstream, and they were really focused on selling her as an Urban artist.

Craig Zadan: We were so naive in the beginning, we thought it would work itself out. We couldn?t believe they dug their heels in like that.

Neil Meron: The two labels were never able to come to terms.

Craig Zadan: Whitney knew how important it was to everyone, and to her, especially. She was so proud of it. But no one would compromise, they were willing to stop an album from coming out just because they were playing this game of chicken with one another. It was tragic.

Neil Meron: Ted Chapin from Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization called me last week and he?s been talking to people about trying to get the album out, finally. It would have to be looked at to be remixed and mastered for 2017, but it?s basically done.

very great read. I need more
they should go on the View with Whoopi, and Bran sing In My Own little Corner

Sovereign.

Atlantic could've definitely profited from that release. Brandy was their money-maker.

If they indeed get to release the soundtrack finally, they should try to simultaneously have the movie air on ABC for the holidays or something.
Must be a purple moon, feel like one of those nights...

Not Jewel  :dead: As much as I love Jewel I couldn't see her as Cinderella. She doesn't give it and at that time she was still very much folk pop Jewel. Nah just couldn't see it at all.

I want Brandy to work with Debra M. Chase again...she's doing big things these days and aside from that I did love Zoe (although some things couldve been improved).

Yea.

Leanne R. would have been too young I'm assuming?

Shooting ?Cinderella?
In July of 1997, the cast moved from the rehearsal space to commence shooting on two lots. Exteriors were filmed on the Universal "European Village," while Interiors were shot on the same stages where MGM had filmed "The Wizard of Oz."  The cultural importance of what they were doing hit home again as they began filming where cinematic history had already been made once before.



BITCH
