Kudos to whoever suggested Becki Newton as a stepsister. What about Zooey Deschanel? If she has a soprano range she could make a lovely Cinderella. Her style is a bit jazzy, but I can just imagine her acting choices. Or give her 10-15 years, she could make a great Baker's Wife. Okay, I concede. Just put her as a stepsister. I'd put Kristen Bell as Little Red.
Can Laura Linney sing? I know Julie White has sung...she would be hilarious as the Stepmother, even with such a small role.

Posted: 6/11/08 at 12:39amActually I could see the film possibly doing much better than Sweeney because a lot of schools do Into The Woods. Kids that have done the show would more than likely go see it. Especially if enough of the cast is recognizable.

Posted: 6/11/08 at 1:25amZooey Deschanel is an AMAZING singer. but i am not sure if she's the best actress...and Meryl Streep as the witch is awesome

Witch - Kristen Chenoweth/Vanessa Williams
This works because 1) Cheno has done movies so its not a huge stretch for her and 2) Vanessa Williams, even though, already did the role, she has a fan base because of Ugly Betty.
Narrator/Mysterious Man – John Lithgow/Dick Van Dyke
Cinderella – Laura Michelle Kelly
Baker – Matthew Broderick
This idea really works for me.
Baker's Wife – Laura Linney
Jack – Rupert Grint/Freddie Highmore
In an odd way, I could see this working very well. You need someone bold but still timid.
Jack's Mother – Helena Bonham Carter(for Freddie Highmore)/Debra Monk for Rupert Grint
Both are verrry motherly.
Little Red Riding Hood – Abigail Breslin
Cinderella's Stepmother Joy – Anjelica Houston??
Cinderella's Mother –
Wolf – Jim Carrey
I could easily see him as the wolf. It would be a good role for him.
Rapunzel's Prince –
Grandmother – Eileen Essell
Great actress from the Producers, Duplex and Charlie and the Chocolate factory.
Cinderella's Prince –
Giant- John C. Reilly
Rapunzel – Jayne Wisener
Snow White –
Sleeping Beauty -
Out of ideas for the other ones.
