Here are some suggestion for the role of Granny if Jezile got the role. Plus, the role of Red Riding Hood's Granny is not really huge so the film would not interfere with their schedules:

I agree. Whoopi would make a great cameo choice as Granny.
Plus, I bet she would love to do it.

If anna Kendrick doesn't play Cinderella, who do you realistically want to see? If she could act, we know Katherine Jenkins could sing it and bring some legitimacy. Also, she is BEAUTIFUL!
Laura and Sierra would be so fun as the Stepsisters! Maybe, depending on the Little Red and Jack, they could use one of them or someone else from the Broadway world as Cinderella?

I'd be delighted if the woods didn't look so white, Marshall was certainly open to different races in his casting of CHICAGO (with Queen Latifah and Lucy Liu--not to mention the chorus dancers--getting some of their juiciest film roles ever). I hope he casts the net a little wide for this one, but deep inside I just know he's dying to bring in Judi Dench as Granny, though maybe he'll just have her voice the Giant instead.

Posted: 6/16/13 at 5:03pmIf the actress can play 13/14/15, I don't see a big problem casting an 11 year old to play Little Red. It's all about the implications, and not really the sexuality.

Jenifer Lewis would be great as granny. If not her, than Whoopi.
It would be nice if the other leads were so star studded that they got a broadway actress for Cinderella. I don't know who I'd pick between Laura and Sierra.

Posted: 6/16/13 at 5:08pmI have a strong feeling they are going to cast a Broadway actress for Cinderella if Anna doesn't work out. I really can't think of any Hollywood actress who could sing Cinderella.

Posted: 6/16/13 at 5:11pmMandy Moore? Her voice was sweet and beautiful in Tangled, and she must have the upper range because she was offered to replace Chenoweth in Wicked.

She was in an episode of Doctor Who and was pretty bland, I thought. That may have just been what she had to work with for her character, but who knows?
I know her name makes the palm hit the face after the Phantom movie, but what about Emmy Rossum? She's more known now than then, with Shameless.

Posted: 6/16/13 at 5:14pmOoooh I completely forgot about Mandy Moore! She could definitely do it. If you go to her Wikipedia page she is dressed in a pretty dress that just makes me think of her for Cinderella. Great Idea.

Kristin Bell could work as Cinderella, I was watching Refeer Madness yesterday, and I quite liked her performance.
Laura and Sierra are perfect for the stepsisters.
The little girl in the video seems nice, but I was hoping for Lilla as Little red, and now that we know Bernadette is not playing Jacks mother, she would be perfect as her granny.

I don't think Kristen Bell would be very available would she? Combination of baby and the Veronica Mars movie should keep her tied up for a while.
I think Emily Blunts casting is a huge indicator of the direction they're going with the casting the female roles. I'm yet to hear anything that doesn't involve a relatively famous name being thrown about for any role. Like Les Mis, it's just asking to be over-packed with star names.

That would be one damn youthful looking Granny, though.
Seriously, how does Bernadette look so good at 65?!?

Posted: 6/16/13 at 6:11pmWhat about Laura Osnes for Cinderella? She's a pro at it....but in honesty I think Little Red, Jack, and Cinderella should all be unknowns since they're sorta the "Children" characters and the adults can be famous.

Posted: 6/16/13 at 6:14pmWhy is Cinderella one of the "children"? She even is nurturing like a mother in "No One is Alone".

She's not one of the children, but she's certainly the youngest adult (aside from maybe Rapunzel).
That's why I like her awkwardness in the scene before No One Is Alone.
She's not sure what she is at that point, but her maternal instincts take over. She goes from youthful ingenue to "Mom" in an instant.
EDIT: I also love the ending, where Cinderella essentially takes on the mother role of this new family unit. She is not a love interest for the Baker, but she becomes a mother to his baby anyway. This to me, is such a wonderful representation of a modern family in today's world. They are a family (the Baker, Cinderella, Jack, Little Red, and the baby) because they choose to be together, not because they have to be. It's an "unconventional" assembly, which is exactly what I love about it.

I love Mandy Moore as a personality but have hated her attempts at musical theatre. ...That said, however, I would not hate to see her as Cinderella. Granted, I would appreciate Kendrick more. While I LOVE Boggess and Osnes and believe BOTH would be fabulous, Mandy could be a lovely balance of name versus chops.
Just... please... no Jewel. No.

Posted: 6/17/13 at 12:46amDidn't Michelle Dockery audition for Cinderella? While not Broadway quality, I thought her singing in the audition video was more than adequate.
Into the Woods Movie Cast #848
Posted: 6/17/13 at 7:16pmShe is one of the children, even the baker is technically "one of the children" but he's already cast.... But Into the Woods is centered around several child/parent relationships for the most part (jack/mother, rapunzal/the witch). In No One Is Alone, she acts maternal because she is forced into the situation...at least that's my take on it
