Get a croissant. But first the nightline 5. The real question that needs to be asked is what is it that we can do that is impactful . What the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. It used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome. With the microsoft cloud, we can analyze 100 per day. Whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, thats what id like to do. Number one in just 60 seconds. Good evening. Thank you for joining us. Were about to take you inside a world where not all are welcome. Its a new dating app for high achievers. High cheekbones welcome, high ambitions a must. Could this be how couples or at least the pretty ones find love in the future . Heres abcs rachel smith. Reporter rihanna and 30 of her friends have traveled to one of wine countrys most prestigious ventures. At hour. Reporter she receives her daily romantic matches kurt ity of a dating app called the league. I think the league has been probably on 40 total at this point. Reporter its dubbed the ivy league of dating apps promising to pair you with attractive, successful, highly educated members. The total package. And when word spread briana is a member of the inviteonly app her friends want in. Its great to know youre going to have an experience with the dating app and know the quality of the matches that youre going to be given is up to your standards. Theres a really big wait list right now. 84,000. Reporter this bachelor is number 65,000 on a growing list of singles waiting to cross the apps digital velvet rope. Currently only available in San Francisco and launching next month in new york. Theres got to be a way to jump it, right . Its a manual process making sure theyre selecting anyone. Reporter briana has a date tonight with one of her new matches. Shes thrilled. I think im ready. His name is matt seems really cool. He seems like he is passionate about outdoor activity. A lot of his photos were outside doing hiking. Reporter only a few months old, the League Matches are earning buzz in the crowded Online Dating space. Joining the likes of niche dating sites like beautiful people, farmers only and christian mingle. Ive been a matchmaker over six years. What ive noticed is that clients come through the door and they want someone who is like them. They want someone who grew up like them, whose educated like them, making as much money as they are. Reporter a former google employee and Stanford Business grad, 30yearold Amanda Bradford started the app when she grew frustrated with her own Online Dating experience. I didnt know much about the user other than what they looked like on a lot of apps. Im attracted to a lot more than just looks. Reporter she said she wasted far too much time vetting potential dates. Every woman that i know googles someone before they meet them for coffee. At least 90 . Im not going to meet someone, some stranger for coffee without doing Due Diligence on them. This is happening so lets just be up front about it. Reporter the app limits membership to referrals and applicants whose photos, facebook, and linked inn accounts pass muster. The result, the app claim is a handselected pool of catches. Hes a great guy, architect. Leagueworthy kind of guy. Reporter ivyilingy league degrees, white collar jobs. A doctor that worked at the air force, double tap him if you like him. You hearted him, oh reporter its hard not to notice a pattern. Is this the latest app . Elitist app . Its classy, for people with high standards. Reporter the standards have led some to accuse her of building a tinder for snobs, a 4 acceptance rate. Some have called it elitist. Any time youre selecting a group of people, you are going to get that criticism. But if you look at where people meet their significant others its through work, its through friends of friends, its through college college. All of those are very vetted cure rated communities. So i dont see why a dating app wouldnt employ the same methods. Reporter that may be so but experts warn that this type of extreme cureation may limit our dating pool. We can miss spontaneous connections, the stuff of great love stories. Were focused on our phones, walking on the streets looking down instead of looking up at people. Whats incredible to me is the person that may be perfect for you may be standing in front of you and youre too busy looking at your phone to even realize. Reporter a risk these daters are willing to take. Has the league renewed your faith in relationships and getting out there on the dating scene . Yeah. I think it has. Reporter 28yearold alexandra is a selfdescribed overachiever. Check out her profile. A former olympic skater, accomplished athlete a fourthyear med student at university of pennsylvania. When you only have so much time to take to go on a date with someone youve never met before you really need to have confidence that this has been cure rated. The guys on the league are actually really interested in finding smart, careerdriven women. I think its important for me to find someone that values that and supports that. Reporter alexandra is now happily dating josh. A 63 finance guy with a degree from Columbia Business School whos also a pianist and a skilled archer. Alexandra met him at a league mixer like this one happening tonight. Where matchers are encouraged to meet offline and get person alvis from amanda herself. One by one, she goes through this users photos. You know i cant even tell which one is you in this. Its completely blurry. Youre wearing goggles. And theres no fullbody photos. I have to get better photos, okay. Now we have a really good balance. People seem to be loosening up a little bit. Its been fun. I dont know, i feel this is a little too tight for a first date. Reporter across town brianas getting ready for her big date with matt. Im excited just to meet him and see him in person. Reporter a 31yearold content manager at a tech company. You look good. So do you. Reporter the two immediately connect. I had a really nice date tonight. The dates going really well. I think that hes definitely somebody that id be interested in going out with again. Reporter if matt and briana make a Love Connection and get off the app theres a list of 100,000 became across the country ready to take their place. The wait list is for a reason. And i think thats probably one of the benefits of it, you know. Is it elitist . I dont think so. If it puts the right people people who have a lot of similarities together. I have a feeling there will definitely be a second date. Im looking forward to that. Reporter for nightline im rachel smith in San Francisco. So is the league smart or snobbish .

Theres a real possibility to reexpress, refresh the character of cinderella. Not being a passive victim someone waiting for a man to rescue her. It seems that was not the message i particularly wanted to be part of sending out. So you see, equal meeting of minds reporter Cate Blanchett the wicked stepmother. Is there someone youve forgotten . Oh, it seems too much to expect you to prepare breakfast, serve it, and still sit with us. Wouldnt you prefer to eat when all the work is done ella . Or should i say cinderella . That was the only bit where i got annoyed at her passivity. Right. But i think whats great from what lily is doing with the character is that in every measure the stepmother has turned jealous, cold mean vindictive spiteful because of the tragedy that she has experienced, the tragedy has allowed an impasse in cinderella. Madam will do. How did you get this role . I went in for one of the sisters, to play anastasia. I had this awful pink orange jumper and my hair had been blond with big brown roots. Happy to meet you. You have such pretty hair. You should have it styled. Oh. Im sure youre right. I think because i had blond hair, they said, oh you should read for ella. Do you actually have blond hair . Im naturally a brunette. Okay. Its all lies. Reporter visual trickery. Confined to correspondartoons when disney made cinderella. We can do quite a lot in the photo real world, produce mice and horses and geese and footmen that are alarmingly real.

Im more interested in richard maddens eyes. Was he wearing aqua blue contact lenses . He genuinely isnt. Those are really his eyes . Its really distressing. Its quite distracting. And wonderful. To look into his eyes. They had the most extraordinary chemistry. Watching them dance in the ball. Did they have an affair . I cannot say. But theres oh youre that kind of journalist. Reporter im not. Im really all about have they the first time telling this tale filled out cinderellas life her motivation . You understand cinderellas backstory, why she stays in a tore truss situation. Reporter it makes her triumph all the sweeter. Everyones looking at you. Believe me theyre all looking at you. Reporter now theyre all looking at lily james, her previous biggest role was in downton abbey. I had a tiny part in clash of the titans, handmaiden. Okay so yeah this is a bigger bit. I thought breakfast was ready. It is madam. Im only lighting the fire. Reporter who else could have played cinderella . You auditioned to play cinderella . Of course of course. Im a little bit cross. They were doing cgi, they could do a little of this. I said friends say to me when i told them what i was doing they were looking at me with slightly concerned, how do they ask me the question. Arent you slightly too old . The idea of me playing cinderella. But you do its wonderful to be offered the villain. Is it . You like being the villain . Its great, fantastic. Why . Because im so lovely in real life. May i present my daughters anastasia, drusella . Reporter she got to wear great dresses and so did cinderella. Worst part of the whole experience . Having to put a under my skirt to go to the bathroom. The dress took 20 minutes to get in, 20 minutes to get out. Sort of an hour turnaround. Maybe keep that to yourself. No really. Reporter Costume Designer sandy powell brought us through a secret boor at saks fifth avenue to show us the actual dress, now on display in the stores win. This dress probably took longer than any other dress ive designed for any film. Reporter it took an army to build. 500 man hours. 20 different people did Different Things on the dress. One person adjusting the hem, one person pressing all the crystal, one person would dye the fabric, four miles of thread in the hem. Reporter a fabulous oldfashioned dress worn by a fairy tale figure who now has a modern story to tell. This isnt a girl waiting for a prince to rescue her. This is a girl thats dealing with her own life, a hard life and has such strength and courage that shes doing it really well and making her own choices. You must simply have courage and be kind.
