Into the Woods Official Movie Thread — Page 164

I really love it. What font is being used for the movie's logo?
I'm guessing the couple at the center are The Baker and his wife and Jack is to right, but who is that to the left? Is the female silhouette up in the branches supposed to be the witch? I see the beans in the lower left corner and Cinderella's slipper in the lower right corner...clever.

I would have done the background green and the letters the same golden color as the movie's logo but that's my only quibble, other than that I love it.

Good luck! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

My guess was L to R: Red, Cinderella, Baker, Jack and in the top left corner, the Baker's Wife watching over...

At least the early reviews are for the most part positive. Remember LES MISERABLES and how split the reviews most certainly were? I do.

Nice Q&A piece with Billy Magnussen. Some interesting insight into how he fleshed out the character of Rapunzel's Prince. Also…look at those blue eyes. Dayum.

I love that he loves Steven Spielberg - especially when you consider that he was BORN in 1985, when Spielberg was well into his career and had already had a bunch of hit movies by that time. That blows my mind (speaking as someone who saw Raiders of the Lost Ark when it first came out.)

Magnussen's got a bit of a Benedict Cumberbatch thing going on. You know, in one picture he can look stunning and in the next... you wouldn't be surprised if his parents were cousins.

I'm two years younger than Billy Magnussen and find it a bit baffling that it's surprising for someone in this generation to love Spielberg -- he made a lot of the movies of my childhood, both from before I was born and after.

I wasn't familiar with Billy until that interview Sarah posted and damn....he's giving me all the feels.

My work here is done...

Seriously, I think ITW might be a breakout role for Billy. Most people will go into the movie knowing who Chris Pine is, and expecting a great performance from him (although a lot of people don't know he can sing.)

Billy, though, is a relative unknown and when you combine the fact that he's cute, can sing, AND plays a character who one reviewer called "masculine, cherubic, and gallant" - well, I think there's going to be a lot of new fans, Deviantart, and fanfiction born from what he does with this role. I guess we'll see, but I wish him all the best.

As of now, the majority of the "rotten" reviews are coming from third tier critics and bloggers.

^^^ But it has 86% with Top Critics, so as Ljay said, the top tier critics are praising the movie more (though there is a much smaller number of top critics reviews at the moment).

All this RT talk. Metacritic is where it's at, grandpas.
