One batch of atmospheric stills from Stephen Sondheim musical adaptation **Into The Woods **has already emerged online (see lower down the page), alongside a poster and the first teaser trailer. Now here comes Entertainment Weekly with a new set of images in its latest Winter Preview issue.
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 to confront 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 (who appears to be on a run of moustache action, between this, **Mortdecai **and his cameo in Tusk) 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. {Into The Woods People Stills}
You can see more of EW’s pictures on its website, although they are a mixture of new behind-the-scenes glimpses and pictures that are already online mingling with new material. With Rob Marshall overseeing the music and the cast, Into The Woods will arrive in the US on Christmas Day and heads over here on January 9, 2015.
