Rob Marshall, director of 2011’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, has signed a 2-year development deal with Disney and will direct the movie version of Sondheim’s Into The Woods!
For many theater fans, a movie version of Into The Woods has been a hope for many years. And it’s not the only one that Rob Marshall is doing.
According to THR, Into The Woods is just the first film he will set his sights on:
The project is one of two that Marshall is pursuing as his next feature, along with a new version of The Thin Man that’s in development at Warner Bros., which has Johnny Depp attached to star. No cast is yet attached to the musical.
We wonder if Rob will do what the RENT film did and bring back a majority of the original cast? We would love to see Bernadette Peters as the witch again!
Are you excited for an Into The Woods movie?
Thanks Lyle for the tip!
