Stills from Christina Ricci's latest flick_the fairytale-esque Penelope_have been released, following the trailer which was made available earlier this month.

Penelope is the story of a young woman, Penelope Wilhern (Christina Ricci), born to wealthy socialites (Richard E. Grant and Catherine O'Hara). Penelope is afflicted by a secret family curse that can only be broken when she is loved by one of her own kind. Hidden away in the family's majestic home, she is subjected to meeting a string of blue-bloods through her parent's futile attempt to marry her off and break the curse. Each suitor is instantly enamored with Penelope (and her sizable dowry)… until the curse is revealed.

The film was directed by hot newcomer Mark Palansky, who has been tagged as the next Tim Burton. Part of Palansky's 2001 short film The Same can be watched here. The Same, which starred Josh Hartnett and Jason Acuña, told the nightmarish story of one man's sad and poignant struggle to fulfill his own expectations.



Penelope is Palansky's first feature. The film will be released to theaters April 6.

Pretty sure that's Morgan Freeman, playing it a little more light-hearted than most voiceovers.
