This morning, in a move not unlike George Lucas announcing a Spaceballs remake, Disney has announced that they are preparing to bring the heavily narratively deconstructive Stephen Sondheim musical Into the Woods to the silver screen. Now, before you get worried that all the narratively interesting parts are going to be stripped out before it gets to the set, James Lapine, the original writer (of the text, where Sondheim penned the music) of Into the Woods is on board to adapt the two act musical to screen. If you’re wondering why this is a really interesting move for Disney, read on.

The latest in the long line of musicals being adapted into movies. But … really? Disney? Doing Into the Woods? I can’t see that working with their branding, at all. 

I think it’s going to be the part of Disney that did all the Pirates movies. I think it was the director of those that was in talks with Sondheim. If I read that article correctly.
