The idea that the Lone Ranger could cost $250 million is disgusting even in today's movie world.

They weren't building Middle Earth or having to recreate the Sisteen Chapel. There were no talking apes or Eiffel Towers blowing up.

It was a Western. $250 million???

There is no way Disney will pull the plug on Into the Woods, but they may give Rob Marshall grief over the budget. Not sure if it will effect casting or not. If stars demand big salaries on this, and haven't already been signed, that could make a difference in the outcome.

But Disney is going to need a big hit with this, and with Oz the Great and Powerful doing well (but also another $200-300 million movie), it didn't do good enough.

Studios have to stop spending like they're making Cleopatra again with Elizabeth Taylor. Didn't they learn anything from that? Cleopatra was a hit, not a flop like people think. It made a huge amount of money, but it cost Fox five times as much to make and almost closed the studio! You can't run a business like that. You can't have a movie make $300 million at the box office and cost $800 million (those were Cleopatra's numbers). *

* Converted to today's dollars! (I should have added that.)

I have no idea why Alan Horn, the chairman of Walt Disney Studios, did not mention this movie during his interview with the Hollywood Reporter last week.

Quote:

The Hollywood Reporter: Given the studio gets movies each year from Marvel, Pixar and DreamWorks, what is your plan for the films that Disney's own film studio produces?
Alan Horn: I have five or maybe six [films] from our “umbrella” group, and I have asked [Disney president of production] Sean Bailey for two to three [more films a] year. I prefer three event movies a year. Looking ahead, we have Maleficent [with Angelina Jolie], Cinderella [with Kenneth Branagh directing] and Tomorrowland [from Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol director Brad Bird]. And we’ll have two to three small ones, Like Saving Mr. Banks and [the baseball movie] Million Dollar Arm. So that makes about 11 movies a year, and then we distribute DreamWorks movies, so let’s say they give us three or so a year. For fiscal '14, which commences Oct. 1, we have 15 releases. That’s a normalized slate.

The live-action 'Cinderella' is not scheduled to be released until March 2015, but Horn mentioned that movie. 'Into the Woods' is scheduled for release on Christmas Day 2014, but he did not talk about it. He also did not talk about the next 'Muppet' movie, which is going to be released before all of the films that he mentioned.

This is a good sign that the film is still happening.

"For its part, Disney said it hopes to continue working with Depp and praised both his talent and his track record.

Johnny Depp is one of the most iconic and successful actors in the world in part because of his ability to choose unique roles and turn them into something utterly unexpected," a studio spokesman said in a statement to TheWrap. "We are incredibly proud of our long collaboration with him, which includes three billion-dollar films, and look forward to working with him for years to come.

The actor, nominated for 'Sweeney Todd,' 'Finding Neverland' and the first 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,' has the science fiction film 'Transcendence' and a role as the wolf in the musical 'Into the Woods' in the works."

How about the fact that they're still casting for it. Filming in October. Have a release date. We had no reason to think it wasn't happening.

Beautywickedlover maybe Disney's Cinderella's dress is bluish silver but I was one of the people who think Disney re-colored her dress to be more blue in the last home video releases we had.

Comingsoon.net is a site that gives updates on movies. Anna Kendrick might be finished with negotiations because she is now listed in the group of people who WILL be doing this film:

"Starring: Johnny Depp, Meryl Streep, Chris Pine, Jake Gyllenhaal, James Corden, Emily Blunt, Christine Baranski, Tracey Ullman, ANNA KENDRICK"

https://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=85854

Plus, this was mentioned earlier today.

"Of course, many upcoming, high profile projects are on the horizon, as well - among them, Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp in INTO THE WOODS and Kendrick herself"

https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Kendrick-Cracks-Billboard-Top-10-With-PITCH-PERFECTs-Cups-20130710

ETA: Huttlestone is not mentioned probably because he has not finished negotiations.

"The other films currently scheduled for release on Christmas next year are [Angelina Jolie's Unbroken film], the Annie remake, Disney’s star-studded musical Into the Woods, and Night at the Museum 3."

If I were Disney and wanted this movie to be successful (and hopefully a big hit), I'd either push back or move up the release date, including still during the awards season.

^ Christmas weekend usually brings in BIG BUCKS at the box office. During Christmas weekend 2009, plenty of films opened with great numbers: 'Sherlock Holmes', 'Alvin & the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel', and 'It's Complicated'. Plus, 'Avatar' continued its box office dominance.

Last Christmas, 'The Hobbit' held onto the top spot and had strong legs throughout the month and both 'Django Unchained' and 'Les Miserables' debuted well and showed staying power at the box office. Also, 'Silver Linings Playbook' had its wide release that weekend and ended up with a very respectable total during award season and afterwards as well.

If 'Night at the Museum 3', 'Annie', and 'Into the Woods' keep their release dates, then maybe what happened during Christmas 2009 and 2012 will happen again. But the problem is that all three of these films are targeting family audiences. Plus, the 'Despicable Me' spin-off is being released one weekend earlier than these films. So, the grosses may be divided. We will see what happens.

Music arranger David Krane is en route to London right now to start work so we can presume it's happening.

According to ComingSoon.net, Jake Gyllenhaal is dropping out of Rob Marshall's film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's musical INTO THE WOODS to focus on his upcoming indie flick NIGHTCRAWLER. Scheduling conflicts forced Gyllenhaal to choose between the two projects. The actor was slated to star as one of the princes in INTO THE WOODS.

The BWW article said that Megan Hilty is going to be in the film. I thought she wasn't. I'd like to see Andy Karl as one of the Princes.

Have hair, will travel.

So Chris Pine is definitely Cinderella's Prince and ??? is Rapunzel's Prince?

Here's Chris singing. Nice voice (along with everything else).
