Join Disney for a trip Into the Woods (of the Stephen Sondheim variety) with Johnny Depp, Chris Pine, Meryl Streep, & Anna Kendrick.
Once upon a time, the musical film, such as this December’s Into the Woods, was as dead as Jacob Marley. But thanks in no small part to Disney and a decade of filmmakers as varied as Rob Marshall, Johnny Depp, and Meryl Streep, the genre has taken on new life as a prestige event occurring almost every December.
But this holiday, all of the elements are coming together for an adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s classic Broadway fairy tale subversion, Into the Woods. And while there have apparently been changes made to the play that might annoy purists, there is more than enough to seemingly pull anyone else in since director Marshall (Chicago) has rallied a star-studded cast to his production, including Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine, James Corden, and Johnny Depp (as a werewolf).
Watch it here:
Into the Woods is the story of a series of fairy tale characters of folklore having grown up from their idyllic youth into a world where wishes and daydreams can take on a slightly malevolent undertone.
Into the Woods begins its theatrical climb up the bean stock on this year’s Christmas Day.
