Johnny Depp to Follow Meryl Streep Into the Woods?

by Rebecca Pahle | 3:55 pm, April 28th, 2013

We’ve heard of Meryl Streep‘s involvement in the movie version of the musical Into the Woods before courtesy of the film’s writer, who said a few months back that she’d play the witch. But now things have gotten a little more official, both for her and another probable cast member.

Yep. La Streep and Johnny Depp might be in a revisionist fairy tale musical together. To quote the great Mr. Arnold, hold onto your butts.

by Susana Polo | 1:57 pm, February 1st, 2013

We last heard that Disney’s Into the Woods movie was rolling into production over a year ago, with the director of 2002′s Chicago aboard to bring to life a version of the stage musical penned by its original writer. And that was exciting enough. But now, in an interview about his new stage musical, that writer, James Lapine, says that Meryl Streep is already on board.

Meryl Streep, You Raise a Valid Question: “Doesn’t Hollywood Want Women’s Money?”

by Jamie Frevele | 12:28 pm, June 15th, 2012

As we know, there is a dearth of women working behind the scenes in Hollywood, even if we have seen a slight improvement since the 1990s. But when I say “improvement,” don’t get too excited. Using the numbers from the LA Times, women working high-level jobs in non-acting jobs in film — directors, producers, etc. — accounted for 18 percent of the whole lot, up from 17 percent 14 years ago. “Improvement” over the course of 14 years amounts to one percent. In politics, that’s within the margin of error, so it might not even be that accurate. This means less movies that are geared directly to women. And now, one of the women who usually appears in front of the camera, Meryl Streep, is using all that attention we pay to her to ask a very important question: “Why? Why? Why? Don’t they want the money?”
