Blanchett is in negotiations to star in a big screen Disney re-telling of the Cinderella story, playing the heroine's sinister step-mother in a live-action feature, according to movie website Deadline.com.
The film will be helmed by One Hour Photo director Mark Romanek.
Other big screen fairytale adaptations in the works include a Beauty and The Beast movie starring Emma Watson, Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters with Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton, and Maleficent, a Sleeping Beauty spin-off starring Angelina Jolie.
