It may be set in a world of fairies, but Tinkerbell wouldn’t last

five minutes in this dark Victorian fantasy drama – where

Cara Delevingne plays winged pixie Vignette Stonemoss,

who flees her war-torn homeland to re-kindle a dangerous

romance with detective Rycroft Philostrate

(Orlando Bloom, right).

But a string of gruesome murders

and a terrible secret threaten the

uneasy peace of Carnival Row.
