Into the Woods Movie

Post Reply New Topic

I'm a little worried about Disney touching a show as dark as Into the Woods, but I'm interested to see how this turns out. Also, the kid who played Gavroche is playing Jack, which is a plus. Obviously, the Bernadette Peters version is the one true canon, but I do want to see what they do with special effects. Judging from the trailers, the beanstalks will look awesome!

I am indeed.

Just be glad the Into The Woods movie did not get a PG-13 movie rating from the MPAA.

I voted "yes" and I've actually seen the movie.

I don't think it deserved even a PG rating, unless there were some swear words that slipped by me. You'll see more disturbing/scary scenes in Disney's The Lion King and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

I speculate that studios find ways to get PG ratings for films that could pass for G if they are afraid that a G rating would hurt ticket sales.

Not likely.

I once had a roommate who would play the LPs of the Broadway musical almost incessantly, and at full volume. It got so bad that the landlord threatened me with eviction if I didn't "do something about it". So I skipped out without paying my share of that month's rent (the lease was not in my name) and found another place to stay. The roommate tried to come after me, demanding the full month's rent, and threatening all manner of bodily harm if I did not comply. Overall, not a pleasant experience, and "Into The Woods" features far too prominently in it.

I didn't know Chris Pine could sing.

Late to this thread - someone dragged me to the movie - I had no idea what it was about except that it was supposed to combine together a bunch of fairy tales. Had no idea that the film was a musical, or based on a broadway musical. Overall really enjoyed it, but certainly cannot compare it to the Broadway production or any other version as its the only version I've seen.
