The number of big movies left in the year yet to be seen is getting smaller and smaller, and one of the most intriguing on the way from Disney is "Into The Woods." Based on the smash hit musical and featuring an all-star cast and gnarly twist on classic fairy tales, the film has all the ingredients for a big holiday success. But can this ensemble hit the right notes?
Well, a new featurette for the film is here, and it contains some of the first footage of the cast getting into the musical mood. Anna Kendrick and Meryl Streep in particular are highlighted, and while thanks to "Pitch Perfect" and the upcoming "The Last Five Years" we know the former can belt out a number, the latter Oscar winning actress shows that she’s been practicing as well. The promo also features a nice bit of footage, finding director Rob Marshall clearly embracing the fantastical world of Stephen Sondheim‘s songbook.
But what do you think? Does this cast have what it takes? Watch below and see the movie on Christmas Day. [First Showing]
