We’ve seen stills aplenty and even a trailer for Rob Marshall’s new movie musical Into The Woods, based on the Stephen Sondheim/James Lapine stage work. To let you have an even closer look at the characters, a batch of new posters is online.
Riffing on the stories of the Brothers Grimm, Into The Woods is about a childless baker who attempts to lift a family curse by journeying woods-ward on a mission for Streep's evil harpy. Along the way they encounter classic characters like Rapunzel, Cinderella, Jack (of beanstalk notoriety) and Red Riding Hood, played by newcomer Lilla Crawford.
James Corden is the Baker, with Emily Blunt as his wife, Anna Kendrick as Cinderella, Chris Pine as Cinders' handsome prince, Johnny Depp as the Big Bad Wolf, Mackenzie Mauzy as Rapunzel, Annette Crosbie as Grandma, Daniel Huttlestone as Jack, Frances de la Tour as the Giant and Tracey Ullman as Jack's mother.
Marshall is busy putting the final touches to the film, which will arrive in America on Christmas Day and make it to the UK on January 9 next year.
