Watch Meryl Streep in first trailer for Disney’s ‘Into the Woods’
By Nick Levine
The first trailer for Disney’s Into the Woods has been released. Watch it below.
The movie-musical, whose cast includes Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp, Chris Pine, Emily Blunt and James Corden, is the long-awaited big screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s Tony Award-winning 1987 Broadway show.
The plot fuses all the classic Brothers Grimm fairytale characters and their stories – from Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella, to Jack and the Beanstalk – as the Baker (Corden) and his wife (Blunt) attempt to lift the curse of infertility cast upon them by the Witch (Streep).
The film also features Frances de la Tour as the Giant’s Wife, Simon Russell Beale as the Baker’s Father and Christine Baranski as Cinderella’s Stepmother.
Meanwhile, Streep has been given her own brand new song, especially for the film, meaning she could be set for a performance at next year’s Oscars.
Earlier today the first set of pictures from the film was released – check them out here.
Into The Woods is scheduled for release on Christmas Day.
