INTO THE WOODS Featurette Shows off a Ton of Footage and Music
Disney has released a new featurette for their upcoming fairy tale movie musical, Into the Woods. Not only does it include interviews with the cast and crew talking about the story, but it also gives audiences a ridiculous amount of new footage, some of which features the cast singing. Into the Woods looks like a beautiful movie, and this featurette actually got me really excited to see it. I wasn't sure if I'd like this film, but I'm completely on board now.
"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.
The movie stars Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, James Corden, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine, Johnny Depp, Lilla Crawford, Daniel Huttlestone, Tracey Ullman, Christine Baranski, MacKenzie Mauzy, Billy Magnussen, Tammy Blanchard, Lucy Punch, Richard Glover, Frances de la Tour, Simon Russell Beale, Joanna Riding, and Annette Crosbie. Disney will release Into The Woods in theaters on December 25th, 2014.
