I also like that shot. I actually thought it would be lighter outside when she did that (because that's what we saw in the set photo), but I like that they made it darker.

I am so happy that the tone of the original appears to be preserved. Rapunzel struggling in the marsh is also a moment that I love, and suggests the film's approach will have the appropriate gravitas.
If anything, it looks far more adult the kid geared.
It'll be interesting to see if the marketing lightens up when the expository trailers roll out.

I really liked the trailer and the rich orchestrations!
I hope I am not as disappointed as I was with the final Sweeney Todd movie (or Evita).

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I thought the film version of EVITA couldn't have been better...and I'm not a Madonna fan. I just loved the scale of it and thought Alan Parker did a great job of bringing it to the screen.

That's cause it's right after LAST MIDNIGHT. You can even see the black oil.

I LOVE Evita!!! I actually don't know how it could have been done better. I thought it was beautiful, wonderfully melodramatic and atmospheric. I thought the choice of Madonna was interesting, she in many ways represents the same thing the Evita story does. I know people wanted better singers, but that is what Broadway is for. I also really enjoyed the pace and cutting the film. It really plays well on TV for me.
I don't know what people expect from sung-thru material but I feel it really worked with that film.

Maybe someone who could sing the part...

The only appropriate response I can think of after seeing this trailer is:
"And [it] made me feel excited, well, excited AND scared."
-There's the muddle in the middle. There's the puddle where the poodle did the piddle."

Posted: 7/31/14 at 5:11pmI actually thought it WAS a Tim Burton trailer. Guess I should visit here more often.

Ah! The trailer is magical and epic! I love it! This is the first time I'm saying this for any movie, but I love the dark tone. It fits the story and its theme. I, too, love that the prince's castle is a medieval fortress, and therefore not as glamorous as one from a Renaissance, Baroque, or classical/Rococo time period.
Btw, I watched Into the Woods for the first time two weeks ago (the OBC), and I was sadly unimpressed. The musical had been hyped up to me for so long that I expected the best thing ever, and it was just okay. However, this trailer does make me excited for the film!

"If you remember they did the same (no singing) with Sweeney Todd. Because sadly, your average movie going moron will be put off."
That's not entirely true. I'm pretty sure Depp sung a generous section of "Epiphany" in the Sweeney trailer.
I'm really excited for the Into the Woods movie, it looks like Sondheim will have two awesome films in a row.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

The orchestrations sound incroyable.
Hope the reshoots were worth it.
#91Here Is The Official INTO THE WOODS Trailer
Posted: 7/31/14 at 5:58pmI think there's more promise here than not. This is not ANNIE, where the trailers were laughable. What I like most is that the tone seems exactly what I'd want it to be if Disney's involved: it clearly will hold up for kids, and will hold their hands, but it will not shy away from dark places. That's the best kind of story, and the truest to the Grimm heritage, the kind that does not deny the existence of scary things but tells children how best to handle them. A true all-ages experience, the way WOODS should be, and I hope the film plays out as true to the stage show as possible, tonally.
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

From the design concept, it's clear a highly traditional approach has been employed, very much in sync with the original look. With one adjustment: It's not yet completely clear, other than with the hair and gown tailoring, but the decision to turn the Witch into a normal version of herself, rather than a glamourized "make-over" strikes me as shrewd. The transformation seems subtler than is sometimes employed on stage, rendering her an upper middle class woman restored, not re-invented. She could've looked faintly ludicrous, more like an older Belle Watling in GWTW (the designs used for Peters) had she been too obviously redressed. As for the missing humor, Peters didn't go for easy laughs, nor did any of the subsequent actors. This feels like the Phylicia Rashad approach (anyone else see her?) Austere, imposing, but eschewing camp. With the camera right on top of her, Streep obviously takes care to find the right tone and scale. All of this is noted with only seconds of footage.
May I remind, since it's misused on this board often and countless times in this thread: the preferred past tense of the verb to sing is (still) "sang." The ubiquitous, colloquial use of "sung*," propagated by American Idol, The Voice and other venues, when "to sing" is conjugated in glib, often slang-based syntax, (still) does not make it correct in writing.
*I have sung -- indicative present perfect
I had sung -- indicative past perfect

Well, the potion restores her to her former self, not reinvents her, but I completely understand where you are coming from. But here's the thing...we have not seen what she will look like on screen entirely.
What we have sspeen is a blurry "outline" of what she will look like. Which includes, shorter, more tamed, blue hair. A blue-gray dress (with cleavage) and a cloak/cape with shoulder pads.
The picture does not show what they could have done with her face or eyes (she was squinting). So, I think (hope), that when it comes to the big screen, she will look as glamorous as we hoped!

One of the best teasers in quite a while, I thought it was promising with a very solid cast, but this trailer has made me even more excited for it. The cinematic shots and the orchestrations are very well done.
I think this movie might redeem Rob Marshall as a film director after a HUGE mess of a movie called Nine.
#95Here Is The Official INTO THE WOODS Trailer
Posted: 7/31/14 at 7:31pmOutstanding! It sounds and looks so good. I was so excited already, but this and the new stills have made me even more excited. The art direction looks great, and it looks like they got the tone and atmosphere pretty right on.

Wow, those orchestrations are absolutely stunning!
I wish they had included a little bit more substantial material, but what they did show us looks awesome!
#97Here Is The Official INTO THE WOODS Trailer
Posted: 7/31/14 at 8:43pmAgreed. Looks kind of disappointing.

#98Here Is The Official INTO THE WOODS Trailer
Posted: 7/31/14 at 8:52pmMy only problem with it is that guard is no indiction that it is a musical. Especially if you are not familiar with the show or Sondheim. Still not thrilled with the casting and said I probably won't pay to see it in a theater. But I am fooling myself. I am too curious.
Just give the world Love.

Posted: 7/31/14 at 9:36pmLove it. I am even more excited for this now.
