When a Baker (James Corden) and his wife (Emily Blunt) are unable to have children due to a curse, they are advised by a witch (Meryl Streep) to venture into the woods in order to find a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, hair as yellow as corn and a slipper as pure as gold. Along the way, they become intertwined in the stories of 'Jack and the Beanstalk', 'Little Red Riding Hood', 'Rapunzel', and 'Cinderella', in this original story based upon Grimm's classic fairy tales.
Based on the Tony Award-winning Broadway production of the same name from James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim. Both Lapine and Sondheim have reunited for the film adaptation directed by Rob Marshall ('Chicago', 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides'). Marshall himself has participated in multiple Broadway productions winning four Tony Awards for 'Best Chorography' and one for 'Best Direction of a Musical'. Disney hired Marshall to work on the movie in 2012, with principle photography beginning in September 2013 after script-rewrites took place to make the musical more family-friendly, as well as Sondheim writing a brand new song for the movie. It is scheduled to be released in the US on Christmas 2014.
