Into the Woods Official Movie Thread — Page 89

That truly sounded beautiful.

^^^I think my favorite part of that article is the clip of a random high school production in which "Cinderella sings 'You Are Not Alone'".

A new video with Corden being interviewed was posted. The discussion about the film begins around 2:40. I think he'll be brilliant and December can't come soon enough.


James Corden Discusses INTO THE WOODS & Traces Workshop To Final Film

I hope Johnny Depp looks more like, well, a wolf as the Wolf.

I have a quick question to anyone who can answer. When the Witch enters the Baker and his Wife's cottage and they say they have no bread, why does the Witch say "Of course you have no bread"? How the heck would she know, or have any reason to assume so?

^^ Yes because her next line is "Nothing cooking in there now is there?" While pointing to the wife's stomach.

I apologize in advance as I have not been following this topic but has there been any mention of original cast cameos as Rob Marshall has done in his past musical films as director (e.g., Andrea McArdle in ANNIE, Chita Rivera in CHICAGO)? Thanks!

A friend of mine was invited to a test screening last week [he lives in L.A., so that happens a lot] and he said it was terrific. He wasn't familiar with the musical at all, but wanted to tell me 'cause he knew I loved all things Sondheim. He said everyone had pleasant voices and no one felt miscast.

Spoilers ahead...kinda.....

He said that Meryl's post-transformation look is similar to Susan Sarandon's character in Enchanted except she has blue hair. I'll reserve judgement until I see it. He also said he thought she was very funny when she needed to be and really sang the heck out of her songs. The new song for the film is apparently about how the Witch believes Rapunzel will return.

Apparently, the audience favorite was Chris Pine, who he said was hysterical. He thinks he and Emily Blunt were the standouts in an already terrific cast. He sees them being the only ones who might get awards buzz. He loved Emily's "Moments in the Woods."

His only big issue was that he felt act 2 kinda dragged a bit at times. He thinks that, if any song should be cut, it should be "I Know Things Now." He mentioned something about it feeling like it was just rehashing what they'd already seen in the previous scene.

All in all, it ran just a little over 2 hours, it'll probably be PG-13 due to its dark nature, and he said that most the effects work looked finished, so there might be a trailer really soon.

I've never seen a production of Into the Woods that didn't drag in the second act. So, that's understandable.

POSSIBLE SPOILER???????









I found this picture online... is it Meryl from the movie after the transformation??

The French Lieutenant's Witch.

It made perfect sense to give the Witch a Narissa look from 'Enchanted'. Narissa had the look of many classic Disney female villains and the Evil Queen from 'Snow White' was obviously one of them.

Indie Wire is already looking at the acting categories for the 2015 Oscars. They believe that the Witch will be considered a supporting role. They think Kendrick might have a chance at a nomination in the same category and Depp is a possibility for Best Supporting Actor. But we'll wait and see.

I'm getting really excited by reading your friend's review! I hope a trailer comes out soon.

My friend said that Emily Blunt might get a nom. He said she and Chris Pine were the standouts by far and that Emily's "Moments in the Woods" was terrific. I really can't wait.
