Disney ‘Goes Into the Woods’ With First Teaser Trailer
Disney has released the most teasing of teasers for Into the Woods, briefly introducing the key players in director Rob Marshall’s adaptation of the celebrated musical by James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim.
However, it does give a faint suggestion of the score, a glimpse of the costuming and visual effects, and reminds us of the all-star cast (which includes Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Johnny Depp, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine and James Corden). Well, we see Depp’s name and arm, in any case.
“Into the Woods” is a humorous and heartfelt musical that 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.
Into the Woods opens Dec. 25.
