One of the holiday’s most-anticipated releases is Disney’s adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s fractured fairy tale musical, Into the Woods. Today, Disney released ten pictures from the film which has a star-studded cast including James Corden as the Baker, Emily Blunt as the Baker’s Wife, Meryl Streep as the Witch, Anna Kendrick as Cinderella, Chris Pine as Cinderella’s Prince, Johnny Depp as the Wolf, and Christine Baranski as the Stepmother. Rob Marshall directed.
There’s been some controversy as to how “Disneyfied” the final product will be and one song and plotline has been cut, but Sondheim seems to be still backing the project. Into the Woods will be released Christmas Day.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Into the Woods is a modern twist on the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales, intertwining the plots of a few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests.
This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel—all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife, their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch who has put a curse on them.
