Posted: 3/21/13 at 6:13pmDidn't they said they had already an huge name for the wife and that they would announce it by the end of this month?

I peed.

Posted: 3/22/13 at 11:40amMartha Plimpton would be perfection. Why didn't I think of that? I'm not sure what her Raising Hope schedule is like, but if they could get her, they'd be making a wise choice.

My next casting suggestion: The Rock as the Wolf. If you're unfamiliar with his talents, check out this clip of him hosting SNL.

Posted: 4/2/13 at 11:30pmThat's a fun suggestion, but I highly doubt such a big star will get cast in such a small role.

Posted: 4/3/13 at 1:18amHas anyone brought up John Hamm for the Wolf? I mean, he does have the necessary appendage.

Posted: 4/3/13 at 5:08pmWith filming expected to begin in October, when do you think the full cast will be announced? And who do you think are the top candidates for the baker's wife?
#258Into the Woods Movie Cast
Posted: 4/3/13 at 6:02pmThe fact that there was never an official announcement of Streep's casting in this movie makes me think that many of the roles are already cast and that there will be an official announcement of the entire cast when they are completely done.
#259Into the Woods Movie Cast
Posted: 4/3/13 at 6:08pmSeriously, they just need to announce the cast already! I haven't heard any rumblings on Deadline, which is usually the go-to-source for early casting info. Witherspoon seems pretty booked at this point, but I still think she's gonna play the Baker's Wife.

I agree. Plus, we need to hear some news soon because now according to Sondheim himself, production is supposed to begin in August rather than October. Also, a new song has been written for the film.

Posted: 4/11/13 at 4:46pmInteresting interview with Sondheim. Thanks for the link, Beautywickedlover. I do hope the reporter is incorrect about Babs getting ready to do Gypsy. Now that she has decided to direct a different movie, hopefully that will be the end of her playing Grandmama Rose.

Posted: 4/11/13 at 4:48pmOh, Steve. For the love of God, leave this show alone. No new music, no replacing adults with children, just leave perfection alone.

Posted: 4/11/13 at 5:30pmI'm assuming that the producers of any musical just assume that they will automatically get at least one Oscar nomination for "Best Song" when they add a new song to the score. I mean if "Learn to Be Lonely" and "Suddenly" can get nominated how hard is it really?

Is this Rob Marshall with Emma Stone? She's been rumored for this for a long time.

Posted: 4/11/13 at 5:39pmTo me, that looks like Emma Stone, Andrew Garfield and Rob Marshall heading west on 47th St.
#267Into the Woods Movie Cast
Posted: 4/11/13 at 5:40pmLol, Marshall looks like he wants to bang Andrew Garfield so badly in that picture! I wonder what role Stone would be considered for, she'd have made a great Little Red at one point, and she'll make a wonderful Baker's Wife eventually. I don't think she's the right age for the Baker's Wife, but not sure what age they're looking for. She'd make for a quirky, different take on Cinderella, we'll see.

Posted: 4/11/13 at 5:49pmIf they can't get Justin Timberlake to play Cinderella's Prince, I'd be okay with Andrew Garfield in the role.

Posted: 4/11/13 at 5:54pmI have to say that personally I have never seen or heard Emma Stone do anything that assures me she would be able to produce the type of vocal quality typically associated with the role of Cinderella on stage. She might be able to sing, but I would be shocked beyond belief if she has a soprano range hiding in that husky speaking voice of hers.

Posted: 4/11/13 at 5:57pmI believe she was rumored for Little Red back when her name first popped up in connection to the movie but I can't imagine someone of her status taking anything less than Cinderella.

So they have never lowered the singing key for an actor before (by the way, that's sarcasm Sheldon)?

Emma singing:

Yeah, she can sing. Sounds like a solid voice with a limited range, but she's not bad. I notice she leaves the high notes out here, so that's not making me think Cinderella, but who knows? Maybe they can dub her on the high notes.
Or maybe she's up for Jack.
EDIT: She would make a great stepsister, but the parts are too small for a star of her caliber (right now).

I'd kind of like to see the meltdowns that will occur around here if they start lowering keys for this movie. 
There are a lot of things I would like to see Emma Stone do, just not the role of Cinderella in this movie.
