Casting is underway for Disney’s upcoming film adaptation to the Sondheim musical “Into The Woods,” with the latest rumor floating around about funny girl Tracey Ullman.

The Hollywood Reporter says that Ullman is in talks to join the A-List cast of Into The Woods alongside power house names such as Meryl Streep, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Chris Pine just to name a few. Fans of the famous hit musical will be excited to know that Ullman is reportedly in talks to play Jack’s mom (though the role of Jack has not been cast as of yet).

Meryl Streep will play the coveted part of the Witch, with Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Pine playing the 2 princes. Johnny Depp is also confirmed to have a part of the Disney movie as well.

We think Tracey Ullman would be a perfect fit for Jack’s mom given the circumstances of the character.

In 1988 Into The Woods was nominated for 10 Tony Awards winning 3 of them. There is no slated release date for Into The Woods as of yet, but if shooting starts this fall the soonest we should expect to see it in theaters sometime next year.

What are your thoughts about Tracey Ullman potentially joining the cast of Into The Woods?
