Netflix’s Upcoming Movie “Damsel” Promises to Deliver a Different Kind of Fairytale Story
The upcoming Netflix movie “Damsel” is set to premiere on the streaming service and promises to bring a new twist to the fairytale genre. The film, featuring Millie Bobby Brown as the protagonist, follows the story of Elodie, a princess who finds herself in a dangerous situation. Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, the movie aims to subvert traditional fairytale tropes and deliver a story of a young woman becoming a strong, independent adult.
The plot of “Damsel” revolves around Elodie discovering that her fairy-tale marriage was a setup by the royal family to sacrifice her to a massive dragon in order to pay off an ancient debt. The film, while rooted in fantasy, aims to incorporate real-life parallels and ground its story in reality.
In addition to Brown, the star-studded cast includes Angela Bassett, Robin Wright, and Nick Robinson. Bassett portrays Elodie’s stepmother, while Wright plays her new mother-in-law, setting the stage for a powerful face-off between the two characters. With the film set to stream on Netflix in 2024, “Damsel” promises to offer a fresh take on the traditional fairytale narrative.
The movie’s trailer showcases a blend of fantasy elements and a feisty princess character, hinting at a unique and engaging viewing experience. With its release approaching, “Damsel” looks set to deliver a different kind of fairytale story to audiences.
