Though still a rumour, there is already an audition and casting information for “Into the woods”, being shot in the United Kingdom, read the announcement here for more info.
“Into The Woods” intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales such as from “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Jack and the Beanstalk,” “Rapunzel,” “Cinderella”, etc., and follows them to explore the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. The plot tells the story of a baker and his wife who desperately want children and in attempt to lift a family curse, they decide to strike a deal with a Witch who cast the spell on them. She promises to give them a child if they can bring her the cape of Little Red Riding hood, the milky-white cow of Jack (of beanstalk fame), the slipper of Cinderella, and some of Rapunzel’s golden hair. In order to do so, the baker must travel into the dark and mysterious woods and battle a Giant (again of beanstalk fame) who threatens to destroy the entire village.
