'A Cinderella Story' screenwriter Leigh Dunlap revealed that Hilary Duff's lead role was initially written with Britney Spears in mind
While it’s hard to imagine anyone but Hilary Duff starring in A Cinderella Story 20 years after its release, another pop princess was initially eyed for the movie’s lead role.
“By the time we got years down the road, she had moved on to becoming a massive star, and it didn’t matter anymore,” Dunlap said of Spears, 42. While Sam plans to reveal her identity to Austin at the right moment, she is exposed at a school pep rally by her stepsisters and Austin’s evil ex, Shelby . The reveal leads to one of the movie’s most memorable moments in which Sam calls out Austin in the boys’ locker room, uttering the iconic line, “Waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought, useless and disappointing.”
