Besty, I wouldn't be surprised if the theme park attraction potential featured somewhat in Disney's decision to even be involved with the show. They're very very smart businesspeople and they are very aware that they could spin this one into gold, the theme park ride, the action figures, the soundtrack, it all just has an incredible potential to be huge. Really, regardless of his reputation on this board, Rob Marshall gave them one of the highest grossing movies ever, they know what kind of business they're getting into. With this release date they're really trying to make this one a huge family hit, wonder what that will mean in terms of the tone, cuts and changes.
On a different note, who would have thought Meryl Streep, in her 60s, would be headlining holiday blockbusters? She had a huge hit with IT'S COMPLICATED, released over the holidays, and now she's headlining INTO THE WOODS. I find that just so impressive and awesome.
