Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Pine to Join INTO THE WOODS Musical

Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Pine are currently in discussions to join Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep in Disney’s feature film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical Into the Woods.

The movie will be directed Rob Marshall, and the story follows "a childless baker and his wife who attempt to lift a family curse by journeying into the woods to confront the witch that put the spell on them. Along the way, they encounter Rapunzel, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk’s Jack, Little Red Riding Hood, and other classic fairy tale characters."

It's hard for me to imagine either Gyllenhaal or Pine singing a tune, but if they end up being cast in the film we'll see how that turns out. 

According to the report, Streep will play the vain and charismatic Witch, and Depp will play "a hungry and sexy variation of a fairy tale wolf." Gyllenhaal and Pine would play the musical’s two main princes, "Cinderella’s Prince and Rapunzel’s Prince, brothers who are pompous and self-absorbed." Should be fun.
