Can the apple cinema display hook up to a new MacBook (i.e. is there an appropriate adaptor)?

Is there an appropriate adaptor to hook the new MacBook (USB-C port) to the Cinema Display?

The Apple HDMI adapter allows the Macbook to be charged while it is using an external display (via HDMI)


Even if an Apple Thunderbolt display was compatible with the Macbook video output you would not have all of the other docking features of the TB display available to the Macbook (extra USB ports, charging etc).
