""If they ever get that Follies movie done, she'd make a wonderful Phyliss.
Yes! In the FOLLIES dream cast film I've suggested Streep for Phyllis and Bernadette (of course) for Sally. Best to get it done in the next two years Rob Marshall :P.

Blunt was on Letterman last night, and apparently, Pine was on Kimmel.
On Letterman, they showed the, "these beans carry magic" scene.

Another review:
"I was at an industry screening last night, and I wept. The film is beautiful, the music is so lush and gorgeous. All of the actors are spot-on. The few changes to the script are mainly there to streamline the story for timing. At a few points they do seem to over-explain things that were left implicit in the stage show, but that didn't bother me too much.
A couple of things I really liked about the adaptation:
1. The use of daylight.
Stage productions seem to exist only in a dark, overgrown, nighttime woods, and when you think about it, they are there for three days straight. Some of it will take place during the daytime, and Marshall used this wisely for some of the lighter scenes ("Agony," for example) which also gave us some lovely landscape shots. He let night fall when scenes became more ominous.
2. Giving The Witch a deadline
Since I saw the Central Park revival, in which Donna Murphy appeared to get older as the first act wore on, I realized that as written The Witch's three-midnight deadline for the Baker and his Wife is rather arbitrary. Why now and why only three days? Why didn't she come to them sooner and give them as long as it took? The revival showed that it had little to do with them and everything to do with her. She could lift the curse on them whenever she wanted, but she had little time to lift the curse on herself, which really raised the stakes. Similarly, the movie gives them three midnights before [the blue moon that rises every hundred years, and the spell can only be reversed then] so The Witch has her own deadline to worry about.
Also, I liked how the combined scenes and in some places let action speak louder than words to move the story along. It allowed the songs to breathe more and savor the moment, since the momentum of the plot was moving so strongly.
And, for those who are worried, the only ways in which the story has been made more family friendly is in how it's shown. We don't see a toe or heel drop to the floor, we don't see the Baker's Wife fall from the cliff, we don't see Rapunzel's Prince with blood dripping from his eyes, it's all done artistically. But all of that is still there, and the impact is the same.
And Meryl's "Last Midnight" is a tour de force."

The writer of the latest review I posted continued:
"Sorry for the delay. The holiday has kept me in the kitchen all day!
The singing is, for the most part, wonderful and I have no real complaints about anyone. If I had to nitpick, Emily Blunt reaches a little further in her chest voice sometimes than she maybe should, especially considering how lovely her head voice sounds when she goes there. It happens a few times in "Moments in the Woods," but her performance of the song is enough to let you forgive her. I just wish she'd worked on her mix a little more. Johnny Depp is doing the same thing he did as Sweeney, which is fine, though having seen him, I do wish they'd gone with someone else. His costume (which I still don't like) Is rather reminiscent of Jeff Goldblum in the Faerie Tale Theatre "Three Little Pigs,"(https://youtu.be/sGNTHPn_4Cc?t=8m5s) which made me think, "Why not Jeff Goldblum as the Wolf?!" But he's not there for long enough to really hurt the movie at all.
Anna sounds lovely, of course, and she mentioned that they brought "Steps of the Palace" up a step for her. Mainly because Paul Gemignani knew she might be afraid of her soprano and he wanted it in a key that would force her to use her soprano. And then Rob Marshall said, "I hope it's not too high, because you know you're belting that last note." And she does all that and sounds fantastic.
The kids are awesome. They both have that beautiful musical theatre ping to their voices, resonating right in the center of the mask.
And Meryl. Meryl Meryl Meryl! We've heard the belt in "Stay With Me," which she uses in such beautiful contrast to the whispery soprano she uses at the beginning and end of the song. But then "Last Midnight" comes along and all hell breaks loose. Between her voice, the orchestration, the lighting effect, and the camera swirling around her... I had to catch my breath.
You're all really in for a treat!"

Well...maybe Meryl should sound both sad and angry in those lines..it's just that she sounds just angry to me. Maybe she's doing both and I can't catch it.
ShakinBaconGirl, people can feel chills each time they hear or see a certain something. I'm sure you didn't mean you can only feel chills once, did you? I know I can much more than once.
This is all great stuff you guys are bringing into this thread.
I like that new poster with the rest of the characters much more than the one with just the Witch in it. I was expecting that one to not be the final, "official" poster, but instead this international poster to be the final, official one. The only thing is the Baker and Cinderella's Prince should switch places with each other, and so should the Baker's Wife and the Wolf. Then the two leads would be the biggest and at the top, and Cinderella would be across from her prince, and the Wolf would be closer to his prey. Then it would all be more right.

Mmhm. If you do the research, you will find the results. Many of the screenings require a non-industry membership (that can easily and cheaply be attained). Out of respect for those organizations, I won't post the direct link or details. All you need to do is google and click around.

Off topic
Some people said they dont't like J. Depp as wolf, his costume etc. I expected another wolf too. So if I could only comparion.
I am from Czech Republic (and unfortunately Czech premiere of ITW will be - don't know why - 2nd April) and this summer our filmmakers made a movie musical fairytale THREE BROTHERS. This movie is based by three little children's whole-sung musical fairytale (Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty and The Twelve Months; one Brother saved RRH and grandmother, other kiss SB etc.) by our popular children songwriters. In the story RRH we haad the wolf - it was big puppet, bigger than a person...
I would like to know do you like THIS WOLF in a movie (more then Depp visual)? Yes, I know ITW story needs more human wolf but it's true I thought about different Mr. Wolf...
Some pictures
And english trailer of THREE BROTHERS

Thank you kudelicek. Can you make that one image of the wolf touching Little Red Riding hood smaller, though? I think a real-looking wolf costume would be better for the Wolf in this film, too. But I think the wolf costume from The Three Brothers is too big and looks a little fake. The head is amazing but I think the rest is too much. The Wolf is supposed to be a little sexier with his body. The trailer for The Three Brother's looked good though.
Another costume for the Wolf I thought would be great is from the first London production of Into the Woods. Here's a clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeKF1eYuC78
I think Johnny Depp should be in a costume that makes him look like a real wolf, just standing upright and in clothes from the same "Once upon a time" period everyone else has, and that is not bigger than the costume worn in the original production of Into the Woods.
I want to talk about the ending of the Into the Woods film I read spoilers about, but I don't know how to make a spoiler tag for it. Can anyone help me out with that?

I feel as if that version of the Wolf would be way too terrifying for Disney audiences. Plus, I think it looks slightly Muppet-y and cartoony. I also think the costume choice for the ITW movie is more the way it is due to the fact that it shows off Johnny Depp. I don't think Disney wanted a costume/look for the Wolf that would make it difficult for audiences to figure out if it was Johnny Depp.
