#1075Into the Woods Movie Cast
Posted: 6/21/13 at 7:21pmIt's interesting that the Hollywood Reporter notes that Pine is playing Cinderella's Prince and Gyllenhaal is playing Rapunzel's Prince. I figured it would be the other way around.

Posted: 6/21/13 at 7:23pmVery happy about the possibility of Kendrick. So far, I'm. Pretty happy with all of the casting.

Kendrick will make a wonderful Cinderella if the talks are successful. Also, it'd be great if Laura Osnes who read the role of Rapunzel joins the film as well.
ETA: The article also says that Baranski and Corden might doing the film after all.

Laura would be great as one of the stepsisters, too, but probably can't get away from Cinderella on Broadway in time to rehearse, record, and film Into the Woods in London. When is her contract up?
I hope Sierra Boggess is either Rapunzel or a stepsister.

I mentioned earlier that maybe Osnes can temporarily leave 'Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella' during the fall and return to the show during the holiday season. Laura Michelle Kelly temporarily left 'Mary Poppins' on Broadway in 2011 to film and movie and then came back. Samantha Barks also briefly left the U.K. tour of 'Oliver!' to do the 'Les Miz' film and then returned to the show.

Well Santino is leaving to do Frozen, so I guess it would be alright for her to depart too for a little while.

As has been discussed elsewhere, the one dissapointment in all this so far is that (like Marshall's other musicals) this cast seems awfully white.
Here's hoping that changes.

Posted: 6/21/13 at 7:46pmjustin, you act like doing voice work requires the same leave as actually going to England to film in person. Yes, he may need some time, since working on Frozen would make doing 8 shows of a musical a little more taxing, but it's not exactly the same.

I was thinking the same thing, somethingwicked.
I really liked the idea a few pages back with the little girl from Britain's Got Talent... But mainly so I can have Whoopi Goldberg as Granny. I'm in love with that idea.

Well, Marshall's biggest musical to date did feature Queen Latifah giving a career best performance and Lucy Liu making a delicious cameo as Go-To-Hell-Kitty. NINE was largely white (in terms of race, there were a lot of different nationalities), and I think Marshall was trying to keep it very white European looking. I do wish there was a larger variety of races in these woods though, so I get what you guys are saying.
Re Kendrick's casting I am over the moon! This is my favorite piece of casting so far, it'd be absolutely amazing if she was in this.

Take this with a grain of salt:
A friend of mine who is a friend of one of the producers heard that Sophia Grace from Ellen show fame is in serious contention for the role of Little Red as far as last week. Apparently her initial audition was so great that they have been work shopping her for that role to see how well she can do.
Who knows if it's still on the table, but if so, that would be...interesting?

Bleh...
I mean she's a sweetheart, I guess, but...
#1090Into the Woods Movie Cast
Posted: 6/21/13 at 8:07pmI'm not surprised about the possiblity of Sophia Grace. She's loud, energetic, and last time I checked, she lives in England.

Posted: 6/21/13 at 8:12pmI just wish they'd go a little older for Little Red... Sophia seems a little too hyperactive at her age. :) It's good, just not really for Little Red, IMO.

...your point?
That saying that Santino's "leaving" is an example of how easy it would be for Laura to go to England to film is just odd rationale. I'm not saying he or she couldn't or shouldn't; they're just simply not the same logistically.

Kendrick just basically confirmed it on Twitter...

Someone sent an "ambiguous" Tweet saying for her not to f*** up the part of Cinderella and she replies with a quirk.

It's not a point. It's a cell phone in the pocket.

The only possible casting news of Red Riding Hood that has been released lately is the article about the girl from 'Britain's Got Talent'. So I am going to take Bohemiatina's rumor with a grain of salt.
