Into the Woods weaves together the story of several of the
most beloved fairytales (Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the
Beanstalk, Rapunzel) into the original story of a Baker and his wife who try to
reverse a curse on their family in order to have a child, exploring the
consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests and their desire for “happily
ever after.”
With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book and
direction by James Lapine, "Into the Woods" earned 10 nominations at
the 1988 Tony Awards, winning three including best score and best book of a
musical. The 2002 Broadway revival won a Tony for best revival of a musical.
According to the trade, Gyllenhaal and Pine would play the
musical's two princes, Cinderella’s Prince and Rapunzel's Prince, brothers who
are pompous and self-absorbed.
Walt Disney Pictures is expected to start filming in August.
James Lapine wrote the script for the film, which is produced by John DeLuca.
