They'll rewrite the script and say that the Witch's lifelong secret desire was to look like Meryl Streep.
Problem solved.

Posted: 7/3/13 at 12:07pmSeriously, I do not get why people are having trouble imagining a beautiful 60 year old woman as glamorous, mind you glamorous. And if people are going back to the original book, the problem can be solved by simply removing the word "young," mind you, "young" and "youthful" are also two completely different words. Ah, whatever, everyone has a right to their opinion, and actually this kind of "beautiful" conception has followed Streep throughout her entire career (there's the famous story of Dino DeLaurentiis calling her "ugly" in Italian thinking she wouldn't understand what he was saying).

Posted: 7/3/13 at 12:10pmYea, I agree ray. I'm sure Meryl will look STUNNING after her "glamorous witch" makeup is designed.

She will look fine, it's a movie. They can do anything. All I said was - she's not as obvious/outward of a beauty as someone like CZJ or Vanessa Williams. I never said they won't make her look good.

Posted: 7/3/13 at 12:18pmMeryl is ugly and totally wrong for the part. As always.

Posted: 7/3/13 at 12:23pmMeryl will be fine in the role. She isn't my ideal Witch but I can't wait to see her acting choices for it.

Posted: 7/3/13 at 12:24pmHow is she ugly? Break it down for us. Give specifics.

Don't worry. It's all Karma, baby.
The ones who have the most problems with her age and looks are the ones who will have the most problems with their own age and looks and ideas about "beauty."
Get ready.

Besty, I'd like to call it a curse in terms of karma to keep the thread very themed 
I still don't get how people think Meryl needs to be touched up to be beautiful, but whatever, I don't think any of us are gonna change our opinions.
#1284Into the Woods Movie Cast
Posted: 7/3/13 at 1:43pmMeryl will look great as the Witch...iam just thankful that Jim Carrey isn't the Baker. That would have been unwatchable.
#1285Into the Woods Movie Cast
Posted: 7/3/13 at 1:44pmThank god he's too busy not promoting his latest film!

Posted: 7/3/13 at 1:46pmJim Carrey was also up for Thenardier in the Les Mis film. Now THAT would have awesome.
#1287Into the Woods Movie Cast
Posted: 7/3/13 at 1:50pmCarrey hasn't been good in years, but his performance in ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND is nothing short of stunning. I think he'd have been ideally suited for the Baker, it'd have taken him work but Marshall could have gotten him there, IMO. Either way, can't complain about Corden, he's a fantastic choice.

This is my problem with people bemoaning Meryl's age. Julia McKenzie was a fabulous witch and this is what she looked like post transformation. She doesn't look young, but looks quite glamorous.

He'd of probably complained later about it and not return any of the money he made on the film.

Remember how glamorous Miranda Priestly was in 'The Devil Wears Prada'.
The Witch will probably look very stunning post-transformation like in the second photo. The costume that Julia Mackenzie is wearing reminds me of the clothes Priestly in wearing the first photo.

Posted: 7/3/13 at 5:11pmbeautywickedlover, don't you know that apparently any woman over 40 can't look glamorous or beautiful? No matter how much evidence there is to the contrary, why didn't they just cast Brooklyn Decker? She's beautiful, right?

Wel there's always similar comments when people suggest LuPone to play the role on stage. There usually tons of comments stating she's not young or beautiful enough. Where's the outrage then? Streep and LuPone are only two months apart in age.

Posted: 7/3/13 at 5:20pmLupone would be FABULOUS as the witch! I would kill to hear her sing the Witch's Lament. UGH I would be a mess! Apparently she auditioned for the Original Production of INTO THE WOODS and wanted to play Cinderella but they wanted her as The Witch but she didn't want to play the Witch..
#1295Into the Woods Movie Cast
Posted: 7/3/13 at 5:21pmShe would have been a perfect and stunning Witch in the original production. I wonder if she regrets not taking it.
#1296Into the Woods Movie Cast
Posted: 7/3/13 at 5:21pmLjay, LuPone was damn sexy in GYPSY, my problem with her in the role is she doesn't scream classy to me. LuPone seems much more of a Baker's Wife than a Witch to me, can you imagine her as the Baker's Wife with Bernadette as the Witch? Gay heaven.

Posted: 7/3/13 at 5:32pmSee my problem is, if they didn't care about age, it should have gone to Bernadette. She is utter perfection in the role and she still has the voice for it. I personally think of the Witch on the younger side. I can see Meryl being good acting-wise but I would have strongly preferred Bernadette (personally I find her more attractive then Meryl).
