Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Pine are in discussions to join Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep in Disney's adaptation of the Broadway musical "Into the Woods," The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The two reportedly met with and even sang for director Rob Marshall.
Sources say that Gyllenhaal and Pine would play the musical's two princes, Cinderella's Prince and Rapunzel's Prince. Reportedly, Streep will play the plum role of the vain Witch while Depp will play a sexy variation of a fairy tale wolf.
"Into the Woods" is a "darkly comic mash-up of classic fairy tales that revolves around a childless baker and his wife, who attempt to lift a family curse by journeying into the woods to confront the witch that put the spell on them. Along the way, they encounter a group of characters including Rapunzel, Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood."
