#1900Into the Woods Movie Cast
Posted: 9/17/13 at 6:04pmThat's a hell of a cast! Yes, there are a few people I would have picked over other people just based on personal preferences and whatnot, but now that Sophia Grace is gone, there's really not a single person I don't think is absolutely capable of making this a great movie. I hope it's as magical as it deserves to be.

Posted: 9/18/13 at 9:12amSO glad that Sophia Grace's parents realized she was too young for this part. Talk about making the audience feel uncomfortable watching a young girl her age perform that role!

The fact that Disney never added her to the confirmed cast list leads be to believe she was told she had the part on a "trial period basis." I'm guessing her father was overexcited and leaked the news via social media prematurely. He did her a disservice by doing that.
I hope she understands it isn't awful that a 10-year-old doesn't understand the complexities of a Sondheim/Lapine show. There are many older adults who can't grasp it either.
I'm guessing she blew them all away with her preliminary audition (actually, I heard that, so it's not a guess). She probably did fine with the earlier scenes as Little Red, but as the story progresses and her character changes, and she has to dig deeper toward the end of the story, she probably couldn't rise to the occasion. (That much is a guess.) It's a complicated role, even if it's intended for a "short, plump, little girl in a red cape."

Very true besty. It's a very complicated role. And she also has to have good timing to land all her sarcastic punchlines.

I can't believe people would buy that her parents all of the sudden decided the material was "inappropriate" for a girl her age, not only is it a BS excuse, but come on, it's not like INTO THE WOODS is SHOWGIRLS.
Little Red is a great role, Danielle Ferland set the bar really high for it too, she found humor in so many lines that are rarely funny in the hands of future Little Reds, but she was also tough-as-nails, naive, and mature at the same time. Her scene with Kim Crosby toward the end still packs a punch. I just never saw Sophia Grace nailing it that way, Lilla brings a kind of maturity that seems at least more promising (Sarah Hyland still is my number one pick, though clearly they went younger).

Yes, the Bowery Boys accent has to go.
I just hope she doesn't try (and I mean TRY really TRY) a British accent.

I actually think Sophia Grace shows a lot of potential when I see her interviewed. But the biggest thing I also see her lacking is focus. She can been wildly charismatic, bold, brazen, wildly annoying, sassy, spontaneous, at ease in front of the camera and other people, but also quiet, sweet, and very funny. I just don't see her being able to concentrate on a scene (especially a dramatic one) long enough to get a good series of takes for a film.
Anyway, I'm glad Lilla was available.
I aslo think that Lilla wasn't called in at the last minute. I believe they might even have had her on some sort of retainer "just in case." You can't launch into a production schedule on this scale with that many stars attached when you're unsure about one of the key players and not have a backup ready to go.
Lilla was most assuredly waiting in the wings.

The film has less competition from family-friendly movies December 2014. The 'Despicable Me' spin-off, 'Minions', which was supposed to be released a week prior to this movie has been postponed to July 2015.

Somebody posted this on IMDb.com, saying it was from Anna Kendrick's Instagram with the caption: "The way is clear, the light is good... #intothewoods"
Can we assume this is a location/set? If so, It's good to see they're going outdoors with it. And it's a cool pic.

Posted: 9/21/13 at 5:08pmThat pic certainly gives hope that it won't be an Alice in Wonderland CGI set.

Rapunzel's tower, which is under construction, was posted by someone on the film's Wikipedia page.
#1916Into the Woods Movie Cast
Posted: 9/21/13 at 6:52pmI kinda love that it looks like it's coming out of old ruins, giving it an authentic look. It makes sense now why Dover Castle is subbing for Cinderella's castle. It's definitely going to look like a movie and not a stage show on film.

Posted: 9/22/13 at 11:51amWow, love both of those photos. I think Marshall's group can certainly do something great with it, after all, he did lead MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA to win three Oscars in the design categories.

Posted: 9/22/13 at 12:04pmSo this might not be a CGI Fest? Sweet! The Instagram picture was beautiful.

I'm glad it's not going to look like a CGI animated video game. Wonderland was too much in that direction for me.
Speaking of ... has anybody heard if they are shooting Into the Woods in 3D? Just curious if Disney and Marshall are going full out with the 3D IMAX route.

"I just hope she doesn't try (and I mean TRY really TRY) a British accent. "
You know she spoke with a Geordie dialect in Billy Elliot, right/
