Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.

Release Date: January 3, 2012 

I don't know about you, but I think that a fairytale remake of Cinderella as a cyborg would be epically amazing! And there's nothing like a forbidden romance with androids in a cool dystopian world! ;)
