Rob Marshall has made a career choreographing world famous stage musicals, as well as adapting the likes of CHIGAGO and NINE for the big-screen. Now it appears the director, whose last film was PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES, will helm INTO THE WOODS.
Based on Stephen Sondheim’s hit musical, INTO THE WOODS features a number of iconic fairytale characters that become involved in the story of a baker and his wife’s plans to start a family. Sondheim has previously seen his stage hit SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET, adapted for the big-screen by Tim Burton. The new film version of INTO THE WOODS is expected to feature brand new songs especially written by Sondheim for the feature.
