| Meryl Streep in INTO THE WOODS |
As often happens in filmmaking, things get cut.
Even when it’s a new song written by theater legend Stephen Sondheim for Meryl Streep.
But thanks to the DVD release, the song/sequence is included as a bonus feature.
In the video below, director Rob Marshall intros the song – “She’ll Be Back” – which was apparently written to follow the witch’s confrontation with Rapunzel.
Watch below, and order here.
In this new clip from the upcoming INTO THE WOODS movie, Meryl Streep’s “Witch” instructs the Baker and his wife (played by James Corden and Emily Blunt) how they might undo the curse which keeps them childless.
The reviews keep coming in strong for the Stephen Sondheim movie musical directed by Rob Marshall. Opens in wide release Christmas Day.
Anna Kendrick is killing it here. And how amazing does this look?
Only one minute of video here, but the full vocal for the song is below.
Can’t wait. Opens Christmas Day 2014.

Clip description from Disney:
“Into the Woods” is a modern twist on the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales, intertwining the plots of a few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests.
This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel—all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife, their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch who has put a curse on them.
Starring the fab Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp, Emily Blunt, Anna Kendrick and Chris Pine.
Opens December 25, 2014.
Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s celebrated fairy tale-themed musical INTO THE WOODS opens in movie theaters nationwide on Christmas Day, but the film’s official Facebook page decided to share a special Halloween greeting for fans today.
Meryl Streep as the Witch comes crawling out of a dark, foreboding tree with the caption:
“Into the woods, where nothing’s clear, where witches, ghosts and wolves appear,” from the Act One finale, “Ever After”.

Having played “Jack” in INTO THE WOODS, I live for this young actor’s response to an unexpected “moment in the woods…”
Bravo!

| Chris Pine croons a bit on the Jimmy Kimmel Show |
Handsome and hunky Chris Pine dropped by the Jimmy Kimmel show to promote his new movie “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.”
While chatting, Kimmel brought up the fact that Pine has shot the upcoming film version of the Broadway musical “Into The Woods,” and that his co-star Meryl Streep had oohed and ahhed over Pine’s voice.
Soooo – Kimmel persuades Mr. Pine to show off his pipes a bit. And the result is very nice. Take a look.
