Don't know why I didn't think of this before. I know it probably won' happen but Aniki Noni Rose as the Baker's wife would be an absolute delight.

I personally feel that Allison Janney would be lovely as the wife. However, I like an older baker with a younger wife for some reason. Like that's contributes to the urgency of their starting a family. Don't know how to go about casting that one.

If you don't mind taking it as it turns out, it's a fine, fine LIFE!

Too starry for a Broadway cast. Not starry enough for a film. So basically no, never.

And Victoria Clark and Sherie Rene Scott should definitely be switched.... Clark would sing Cinderella's Mother's part in a heavenly matter

Victoria Clark as the GIANT? Lol.

I don't know if she'd play the same role twice, but it would be fun to see Bernadette as the Stepmother. How about Cinderella's Father and Stepmother are Chip Zien and Joanna Gleason?

"Bailey Buntain sang on BUNHEADS

Well, I'm sold. One of the top comments says "they should play Little Red and the Baker's Wife in the upcoming Into the Woods movie." :P

I seriously hope they give the original cast cameos. Bernadette as the stepmother would be adorable, and Chip Zien could play the father while Joanna Gleason plays Cinderella's mother.

I've been wondering about this bankable A-lister that's supposedly being considered. Cameron Diaz, who had a huge hit with BAD TEACHER, apparently came really close to getting Roxie. She's funny and she's the kind of actress Marshall loves, I don't know that she'd be right for the Baker's Wife at all or if she can sing, but I could totally see Marshall going for her.

Acting-wise, she'd be a little too goofy for my taste, but vocally she CAN'T. Her singing in "My Best Friend's Wedding" and "Sweetest Thing" are 100% her. She can joke her way around it, but couldn't pull off an actual musical.

I keep hoping the A-lister is Sandra Bullock or Melissa McCarthy.

I'll bet it's Reece Witherspoon for the Baker's Wife.

Besty, I was thinking that too. I haven't liked her in anything for many years (including WALK THE LINE), so I'm kinda dreading it, but I'd rather her than Sandra Bullock (sorry, Jordan!).

I quite like Scarlett Johansson's voice. I don't know if it's appropriate for anything in this film, but I think she should do a musical.

^ That would actually be a little unusual best12bars that two ex-lovers in real life would be playing the Baker and his wife. I know that Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz did 'Bad Teacher' together after they broke-up, but I cannot remember if Reese and Jake ended their relationship on amicable or bad terms.

I assume that the narrator will become a voice-over, or else someone telling the story to a child, like Peter Falk in Princess Bride.

Someone like Ian McKellan or Patrick Stewart would be nice.

I Swear to God, they just need to have Sondheim as the narrator.

Okay, switch Gyllenhaals, and put Maggie as the Baker's Wife (I think she'd be fantastic).
