Into the Woods Official Movie Thread — Page 111

What the devil is that oddball Adam Guettel and Meryl duet from? It looks ridiculous, but intriguing. I wouldn't say Meryl's singing was particularly impressive in that clip, but, man, what a voice Adam Guettel has.

Don't think I've seen this mentioned on here:


Stephen Sondheim, Bernadette Peters, Joanna Gleason, and More to Take Part in Into the Woods Reunion in CA

I'm not saying it doesn't work. I'm just saying it's not as powerful. We also have to remember that neither Rapunzel or the Witch know that the Prince isn't faithful. Heck, is he even unfaithful in this version? Agony reprise got cut, right? That changes things a bit.

"and she will never see her again"

Well, technically, Rapunzel could always decide to forgive her mother and return to her. Not being mangled to bits sort of opens up her options...lol

I think deep down Rapunzel knew the Witch loved her. The Witch reminds me of Mama Rose. She wasn't a bad mother, just very very misguided. Like the Witch says, "I was just trying to be a good mother".

" Like the Witch says, "I was just trying to be a good mother"."

I hope that in the movie...this line isn't as funny as when Bernadette did it. The line should be more emotional in my opinion. And yes, those clips of Meryl singing were/are wonderful. Those were from "The Music of Regret" in 2006.

Here's another clip:

And here's her doing great character/singing/voice work during her Mother Courage role:

I cannot wait to see the film...especially the Children Will Listen (looks beautiful in the script) and Last Midnight (the ending of that song looks epic in the script)

Here's the official, non-teaser poster with Meryl and some bankable names across the top.

I totally love it!

Wow, that looks stunning! Very well-done Disney!

Disney's great at designing their posters! I just wish the cast names on top weren't stretched like that. Blech.

Double post

Perhaps because as lovely a lyric as it is, it isn't really a proper sentence? At least not in modern english.

I do agree that "Be Careful What You Wish For" is cliche though, and that they should have gone for something else. A lyric from the show would have been lovely, I just don't think it should have been that one.

Does anybody know why Johnny Depp's name is followed by his role in the movie? I'm curious. I thought that he was in the film, but all done up in CGI. I could be wrong though. Is he just voicing the role?

As for the tagline, it's cheesy and cliche, but it works for me and probably will for a majority of the audience. It was also probably favored over other quotes as it's an old and very familiar quote associated with fairytales. "Careful the wish you make" doesn't sound right out of the context of the song.

I'm glad the poster isn't the typical Disney live action poster (Oz, Maleficent, Alice in Wonderland). Those just end up looking cluttered. I'm sure there'll be another poster soon, however, with more characters on it. Disney usually pumps out several variations of the posters as the film's release date approaches.

No. He is physically in the film with minor CG-flourishes.

Love it!
