Into the Woods featurette: Now with some teeny tiny bit of singing!

[orangerful]

[when I'm not blogging about video games, apparently I blog about Into the Woods. Won't you be happy once this movie comes out and I've seen it and can stop panicking about them screwing up my childhood??]

So the movie comes out in December and we STILL don't have a proper trailer. This featurette did surface today, which has a tiny bit of singing in it. Streep might be able to pull it off...

Oh my god, I am so excited for this movie. I first heard about the musical when I was a senior in high school. My voice teacher chose Children Will Listen for me to sing at a voice recital. I listened to Bernadette Peters sing it over and over again. HOW COULD I COMPARE TO HER?! Anyway, I've loved the musical ever since. :D

oh dear gods, it would have been nicer for your teacher NOT to let you hear Peters sing haha. Yeah, that's a lot of pressure. :) It is such a gorgeous song, breaks my heart every time I hear it.

Thank goodness they're not pretending it isn't a musical anymore. Hopefully they'll stop that in the trailers, too!

I am glad you linked this, because now I am cautiously optimistic. I think it's definitely going to look AMAZING, and if Sondheim himself is saying they cast all the right people, I will give the Streep the benefit of the Last Midnight doubt.

I am actually really really exciiiiiiiited about Anna Keeeeendrick!

Cautiously optimistic is my zone too. Mostly eyeing up Streep and Depp at this point, but feeling better about Streep. I like Johnny Depp but I feel like over the last few years he's almost become a caricature of himself? I dunno, I'm hoping he can pull this off, even if it is only a small part of the play.

I have had a girl!crush on Anna Kendrick since I saw "Up in the Air" so, yeah, totally fine with her playing Cinderella (and Chris Pine was brilliant casting, even if I'm not so sure about that totally unnecessary accent)

I'm pretty excited for this movie :D

Me too (then I freak out about it because omg they could screw it up so bad)

I think. I hope it is going to be OK. Depp, has done some decent singing roles in the last few years. I feel like if he could (mostly) handle Sweeney Todd he should be OK as the wolf. I've got my fingers crossed.
