Midnight seems like it's closer than ever!

Disney has released another trailer for its upcoming, live-action Cinderella, and it looks even more charming than Prince Charming himself! Featuring Helena Bonham Carter as the Fairy Godmother, the preview also gives us an even better look at Cate Blanchett as Cinderella's evil stepmother.

Showcasing the famous glass heels, the trailer shows Cinderella, played by Lily James, getting promised that "they're really comfortable" by Bonham Carter. Much to one of our favorite princesses chagrin, the new featurette also focuses on the ever-looming midnight deadline.

"Remember the magic will only last so long," the voice over says.

Blanchett proves to be a phenomenal choice as her menacing guardian as the TV clip shows her lurking in the dark with the iconic shoe.

"There must be quite a story to go with it," she says to Cinderella. "Won't you tell me?"

Yikes! Even though we all know how this classic fairytale ends, we're still nervous for the titular character! Plus, with Richard Madden playing the hunky prince, we can only contain ourselves for so long! We're just happy to see Robb Stark him alive and well.

Every reboot, however, has its own set of troubles, which director Sir Kenneth Branagh has faced head on. He previously told E! News that the upcoming movie is a chance to give it a luxurious update.

"It's a very unusual project because anybody sitting down almost certainly knows the story. They've had it read to them or they've seen the film. I think we get to refresh, reactive and recreate Cinderella from the inside out," Branagh said. "The honoring of the original comes in, I think, as sort of a lightness of touch and a sort of lavishness."
