The adaptation of the fairytale-themed stage musical Into the Woods is in the casting stage.
Last month, Johnny Depp (The Lone Ranger) and Meryl Streep signed on to star. Now, Chris Pine (Star Trek Into Darkness) and Jake Gyllenhaal are in talks to join the cast.
The film will follow a baker and his wife who seek out a witch who cursed them to be childless. Along the way, they run into several famous fairytale characters, drawing mainly from Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel.
Chicago director Rob Marshall will direct the film, with music and lyrics by Steven Sondheim.
