Golden Globes nominations came out this morning and surprisingly, Emily Blunt ("Edge of Tomorrow") was nominated in the Best Actress In A Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy category for her work in Disney's Into The Woods. The film itself was nominated in the Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy category as well. Let's take a look at a scene from the film which features the Witch (Meryl Streep), the Baker (James Corden) and his wife (Emily Blunt). In it, the Witch offers to make a potion that will reverse the curse on the childless couple, but she'll need some special ingredients like a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, hair as yellow as corn, and a slipper as pure as gold. Good luck finding all of that.
“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 (Anna Kendrick), Little Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford), Jack and the Beanstalk (Daniel Huttlestone), and Rapunzel (MacKenzie Mauzy)—all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife (James Corden & Emily Blunt), their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch (Meryl Streep) who has put a curse on them.
Rob Marshall, the talented filmmaker behind the Academy Award®-winning musical “Chicago” and Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” helms the film, which is based on the Tony®-winning original musical by James Lapine, who also penned the screenplay, and legendary composer Stephen Sondheim, who provides the music and lyrics. Produced by Marshall, John DeLuca, “Wicked” producer Marc Platt and Callum McDougall.
