Into the Woods: New Trailer and Character Images

The message may be, "Be careful what you wish for," but the new trailer for Into the Woods now has us wishing for more and expecting a lot from director Rob Marshall's film adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim/James Lapine Broadway musical. This is not going to be your typical Disney fairy tale. The woods are dark and forbidding and the characters in it conflicted and a bit selfish. Bad choices and dire consequences are at hand.

In addition to the new trailer, Disney has released some pretty cool character images. They're compelling and just a little eerie.

Emily Blunt as the Baker's Wife

Meryl Streep as the Witch

Anna Kendrick as Cinderella

Into the Woods opens in U.S. theaters on December 25, 2014.

First Look at 'Into the Woods'

We've got a first look at Disney's Into the Woods, the film adaptation of the award-winning Broadway musical. The film is directed by Rob Marshall and stars Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, James Corden, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine, Tracey Ullman, Christine Baranski and Johnny Depp.

The Baker (James Corden) and the Baker's Wife (Emily Blunt)
exchange words with the Witch (Meryl Streep).

Cinderella (Anna Kendrick) polishes the silver.

One cannot have Cinderella without the appropriate Evil Stepmother (Christine Baranski)
and Evil Stepsisters (Lucy Punch and Tammy Blanchard).

Mackenzie Mauzy is an ethereal (at least in this picture) Rapunzel.

Somewhere in there is Johnny Depp as the Wolf.
