This week we have a brand new poster for Rob Marshall’s highly anticipated upcoming family musical, Into The Woods. Released by Walt Disney Pictures, the new poster sees a sinister Meryl Streep creeping out from the darkness, luring audiences in to find out exactly what her story is.

Based on the Tony Award-winning musical play by legendary composer Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine, with Lapine also penning the screenplay and Sondheim providing the music and lyrics for the film, Into The Woods is a humorous and heartfelt musical that follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel – all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife, their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch who has put a curse on them.

With the Oscar-winning actress, Streep, taking the lead, Into The Woods also stars Emily Blunt, James Corden, Anna Kendrick, Johnny Depp and Chris Pine. From the director of the Academy Award-winning musical Chicago and Disney’s Pirates of The Caribbean franchise, as well, this is certainly one of the most exciting releases for next year.
