Posted: 6/19/13 at 5:00pmI didn't read it either. I never read his long ass ramblings since I can fart and hear basically the same thing. He's probably going on about something he has no idea about, though.

Posted: 6/19/13 at 5:01pmSondheim is WAYYY to lenient with his works! Cutting the opening to Sweeney Todd is one thing but cutting a MAJOR theme out of into the woods is just cruel. The Witch becomes way less interesting without the death of her kid. CHILDREN WILL LISTEN won't be powerful without her death!

Posted: 6/19/13 at 5:04pmWhy should we even care about the witch in the second half of the film if nothing bad happens to her? Outrageous!

Into the Woods Movie Cast #910
Posted: 6/19/13 at 5:06pmNo, no posters have said they read the script. Especially not the ones who said they read the script.

Reg:
tl;dr: Rapunzel's death was cut; Broadway Guy is hysterical and irrational and ignoring any salient points.
AKA: nonsense as usual.

Stop it Jordan! You aren't helping this painful situation!
How do people even know this stuff about the script? What is the chance that they change their minds and put the death back in. I don't want a sugar coated INTO THE WOODS!

"If anna Kendrick doesn't play Cinderella, who do you realistically want to see?"
Dame Lea!
I'm very happy they haven't cut Any Moment/Moments in the Woods. I agree with Best that the changes made so far won't really hurt the film, although I'm really going to miss the Witch's lament. This is a Disney film after all and they're not going to kill off one of their most popular and lucrative princesses.

"This is a Disney film after all and they're not going to kill off one of their most popular and lucrative princesses."
See, and thats what is killing me about this. They won't kill her off cause they are afraid to kill her off. They are afraid to go the extra mile and show what Into the woods is really about. Typical.

Last Midnight is still in the film and ends in a way similar to the recent park productions with a pair of hands, belonging to the Witch's mother, pulling her down into the ground.
Lament is actually still in the film, but only the first part, which is supposed to be the opening for the new song Sondheim is working on.
Our Little World is not in the film.
Ever After/Act II opening have been cut completely, but what they've done instead is actually very clever and I didn't mind. Many of the exchanges from those two scenes take place elsewhere, so it's not really missed. The Giant's Wife shows up during Cinderella's wedding. Also, when the Witch is transformed back into her former self, it also makes the Baker's Wife nine months pregnant.
Rapunzel does live. I guess. Her fate is up in the air. She runs away from both the Witch and her Prince after the Giant comes.
Jack's Mother's death is very different. The Steward still strikes her, but she doesn't die from that. She's only dazed for a few minutes and then splits up to go find Jack around the same time the Baker and his Wife do the same thing. The Baker later finds her hat, implying that she died.
The Baker's Wife still dies. No worries.
There is no Mysterious Man. We see the Baker's Father and Mother in flashbacks during the Witch's Rap and the father shows up during the part where "No More" should be and they have an exchange which is pretty much the gist of "No More", but in dialogue form.
The Baker narrates the opening (which is VERY faithful to the stage version) and then it all comes full circle at the end right before Children Will Listen when he tells his son the story of how it all happened.
Hope I've been helpful. :)

Because the movie is a year and a half away, we don't know the details, and the movie won't erase the stage show.
Also, because we are rational, adult human beings with prospective.

Posted: 6/19/13 at 5:16pmDepending on how it is handled, it may not be that big of a change. I haven't read the screenplay yet, as I don't know where to find it (anyone?). Chances are it is handled just fine, and likely in one of the ways previously mentioned here. I will wait to see how this affects the plot before I complain about it.

Posted: 6/19/13 at 5:19pmIs there anyway I can read this alleged screenplay?

Posted: 6/19/13 at 5:19pmSo it does not appear that Marshall is taking an ax to the score like he did with NINE.
