First picture and it's Anna Kendrick as Cinderella and I'm freaking out a little! http://ak47news.tumblr.com/post/62254629951

Thanks for the heads up, I knew about the stepsisters' feet but not the pitch-on-stairs part. But my point still stands. Many liberties have been taken with these characters and stories, so Little Red's age doesn't necessarily have to adhere to traditional fairy tale renderings. I side with those who believe the story involves her sexual awakening and is just icky with a 10 year old, especially this one, who comes off even younger to be quite honest. But I guess we can't do much now but wait ...

Not sure what the relevance of traditional renderings of Little Red is. Where in traditional fairy tales are Princes who spill pitch on the steps to trap Cinderella or rapping Witches? Or, in fact, where all these characters ever interacted with each other in one story?

Looks like rehearsals may be starting!! Anna Kendrick just tweeted about being jetlagged and starting work in the morning (on UK time). https://twitter.com/AnnaKendrick47/status/364214909002719232

I hope Pine is Cinderella's Prince since Gyllenhaal and Kendrick have already played opposite each other.

It's kind of frustrating how sporadically casting news is coming out.

^ Were they asked about the movie specifically or did it just not come up?

Let's all take a moment and laugh our asses off that the only people who won n-o-t-h-i-n-g are Karen and Jimmy.

Just realized, if those reports of Emma Stone doing Cabaret on Broadway are true, surely that would affect her availability for this movie, especially if she plays a big part like Cinderella?

As for Blunt, it was last year's "Looper" that had many people jumping back on the fan bandwagon (me included). Prior to that, it's true, she kind of floundered her "Devil Wears Prada" potential.

Also, potential uh-oh: "Sources also tell THR that reports that the Tony-winner James Corden has closed a deal to play the Baker are premature." http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/emily-blunt-circling-disneys-woods-524132

Emily Blunt is the Baker's Wife; Christine Baranski also in. That's two from the reading cast so far. http://www.thewrap.com/movies/column-post/good-wife-star-christine-baranski-reteam-chicago-director-disneys-woods-92186

Plus there is no way she has time for this. She's booked solid for the next couple of years.

I bet if there's any roadblock for Kendrick it may be that she's done two musicals in a row (Pitch Perfect and The Last Five years), this would make three. The timing's not great.

Well my hopes are officially back up for Anna Kendrick as Cinderella. I believe the same source on these threads who said it wasn't her but a big star also said basically all the major roles were played by big stars? Guess we're back to square one of not knowing anything, which means I'm back to futilely hoping for Kendrick.

"Depp is not carrying this movie, the part is quite small, but his participation was key in it getting a greenlight."

Corden is in talks for Baker - Depp will be the Wolf, according to a very reliable film journalist. Very surprising, great news! Who knew Marshall could restrain his starf*cking tendencies?
