Into the Woods Official Movie Thread — Page 121

When the trailer does come out, I hope that Disney does not reuse the footage that we've seen already, and just put it in a trailer. I say this because, certain parts of the featurette, particularly the beginning, seemed like snippets from the trailer. I think that the trailer will most likely include the "I Wish's" from the prologue, Stay With Me, and probably another song.

Some part of me also wishes for the trailer to feature an instrumental to Last Midnight to end with Meryl saying "shhh" before her epic number.


That's all (for now)

Hey, it DOES matter what the costumes are made of! Like for instance, Cinderella should wear a gown of beautiful, shiny materials. Probably rich materials, for her to attend the rich ball and catch the rich prince. The Baker and his Wife, more cheap materials. The Witch and Rapunzel, perhaps homemade or magically made materials. Or cheap materials but spun and sewn by the Witch and/or Rapunzel. And the Witch's beautiful transformation dress made of more beautiful materials. Every detail counts! Every detail must fit the character and story and setting! What an outfit is made of CAN make it look good or bad, too!

I think the Witch is holding Rapunzel's cape in her hands in the Entertainment Weekly cover.

"I believe the discussion on the EW covers ended a while ago."

Wow, really? That's kinda sh!tty. They are the covers that are currently out on news stands, they do pertain to the topic at hand, which is the film version of Into the Woods, and there is nothing wrong with contributing to the conversation a little late. Just because you are done talking about it doesn't mean everyone else has to be.

I believe new magazines generally come out on Fridays...(in NY anyway).

Variety just did an article on the film:

http://variety.com/2014/film/features/into-the-woods-rob-marshall-disney-1201346785/


Some interesting stuff:

"Final tweaks were still being made to the film in late October, so few have seen “Into the Woods” beyond those involved.
Sondheim has altered lyrics here and there, Marshall confirms."


"Marshall brought the cast together to rehearse for four full weeks in July 2013, before any of the songs were recorded. “Rob blocked out nearly every scene in a big soundstage, so everybody knew what they were going to be doing, to a pretty detailed level, for their shots,” says music producer/supervisor Michael Higham."


" Higham says 93% to 94% of the studio recordings ended up in the film. “We got it bang-on with the (studio) performances. The rest ended up being a live vocal (on the set).”"



Tracey Ullman's songs were sped up


Meryl Streep did her rap entirely live on set








Also...probably one of the most intersting things about the article:


Streep's new song was title "She'll Be Back", and although it was cut, it WILL be on the DVD

"A 93 piece orchestra for the entire film.... Holy fudge bars this is going to be lush and epic!"

It's actually a 53 piece orchestra, but I cannot wait to hear it! Especially in the bigger numbers that require the entire orchestra playing to it's fullest (Last Midnight, final part of Children Will Listen, even the Witches Rap!, etc. )


Also, throughout these recent interviews Rob Marshall made it a point to mention that this is a FILM, NOT a STAGE SHOW. This implies that the film will be different in tone. From the trailers this is evident as it gives off a very epic, Disney movie vibe.

I'm very excited! I can tell that this will be a big success!

^ I think the orchestra will be upfront when it needs to be.

In, the featurette, from what we've seen of the prologue, it sounds full, but not upfront, so when it needs to be bombastic and upfront I hope it will be.

Speaking of the soundtrack, when should we expect audio snippets to be released? Early December? Late November? Thanksgiving?

Based on when we got the teaser trailer and the fact that big hero six premieres tonight, we could expect the trailer sometime tomorrow.

Big Hero 6 is definitely Friday. I don't think we'll get a trailer before then.

I can't help but wonder what some of you will do when the film is finally released and there is nothing to talk about anymore.

I think Disney's big trailer release this week in front of Big Hero is for Tomorrowland.
