Into The Woods Latest News: It Won't Be A Typical Disney Movie With A Happily Ever After Ending
Walt Disney Pictures' Into The Woods, which will hit theaters beginning December 25, 2014, is a film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's Tony Award-winning Broadway musical of the same name, which in turn was based on some of the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales, including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel.
Directed by Rob Marshall from a screenplay by James Lapine, the film follows the journey of a baker and his wife who wish they could have a child. Their condition, they learned, was caused by a curse from a witch, and to undo that curse they must go into the woods in search of certain things they were told they must find. In the woods, they encounter and interact with Little Red Riding Hood, Jack, Rapunzel, Cinderella and the other fairy tale characters.
Contrary to earlier rumors, the all-singing film production will stay true to Sondheim's Broadway musical. Even the new songs which Sondheim reportedly wrote for the movie - the one entitled "Rainbows" and the one he wrote specifically for Streep's movie character - won't be seen in the final film after all. And according to a report from Entertainment Weekly, the dark goings-on shown in the Broadway production like Rapunzel's death and the Baker's Wife's infidelity will also all be retained in the movie version. Marshall promises, "All of those things are in the film. 'Any Moment' is in the film...Rapunzel's end is still pretty dark, it's just a different kind of dark, and it's just as harrowing, and just as sad." A Disney spokesman, according to The Telegraph, said: "Into The Woods calls into question the idea of 'happily ever after'."
James Corden plays the Baker with Emily Blunt as his Wife. Meryl Streep is cast as the Witch, Anna Kendrick as Cinderella, Chris Pine as Cinderella's Prince, Johnny Depp as the Wolf, Lilla Crawford as Little Red Riding Hood, Daniel Huttlestone as Jack, Tracy Ullman as Jack's Mother, Christine Baranski as Cinderella's Stepmother, Mackenzie Mauzy as Rapunzel, Billy Magnussen as Rapunzel's Prince, Tammy Blanchard as Cinderella's stepsister Florinda, Lucy Punch as Cinderella's stepsister Lucinda, Richar Glover as the Steward, Frances de la Tour as the Giant's Wife, Simon Russel Beale as the Baker's father, Joanna Riding as Cinderella's mother, and Annette Crosby as Little Red Riding Hood's Grandmother.
