Tracey Ullman (I COULD NEVER BE YOUR WOMAN) is currently in talks to join the Disney adaptation of Broadway play INTO THE WOODS.
If negotiations are agreed, Emily Blunt will play the wife of a baker, both of whom yearn for a baby. However, after being cursed by an evil witch (Meryl Streep), they must journey into the woods to confront their crooked nosed, warty antagonist to lift the curse. Johnny Depp is rumoured to play the fairytale wolf, while easy-on-the-eyes Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Pine are to play princes to Cinderella and Rapunzel.
If Ullman joins, she will play the mother to Jack The Giant Killer (not yet cast). With a cast list including the likes of Streep, Depp and Blunt, any names joining would only be adding to the talent pool. This really could be an excellent film if taken in the right direction.
INTO THE WOODS is set to be directed by Rob Marshall (CHICAGO).
