It has been an amazing year for Walt Disney Pictures this year. Of course, I have a special place in my heart for Million Dollar Arm since I was THERE to see the green carpet premiere, but I am also looking forward to seeing Into the Woods on Christmas day. (Actually headed to a special pre-screening this week)
“Into the Woods” is a modern twist on several beloved 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 (Anna Kendrick), Little Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford), Jack and the Beanstalk (Daniel Huttlestone), and Rapunzel (MacKenzie Mauzy), all tied together by an original story involving a Baker and his Wife (James Corden and Emily Blunt), their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the Witch (Meryl Streep), who has put a curse on them.
Rob Marshall, the acclaimed filmmaker behind the Academy Award®-winning musical “Chicago” and Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” directs the film, which is based on the musical stage production by legendary eight-time Tony, Grammy® and Oscar-winning composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim and Tony® winner James Lapine, who also wrote the screenplay. “Into the Woods” is produced by John DeLuca, Marshall, “Wicked” producer Marc Platt and Callum McDougall, and will be released in theaters December 25, 2014.
Ever since we saw the first Into the Woods trailers, my daughter Bayla called “dibs” to attend the screening with me. If you haven’t caught the trailers yet, make sure to check out the newest clip from the film. This is a fun scene with Anna Kendrick on the steps of the place! Enjoy!
