Meryl Streep is in talks of joining Rob Marshall’s adaptation of Steven Sondheim’s Into the Woods. Into the Woods is a musical that takes different aspects and characters of classic fairy tales and interweaves them into an original story focusing on a baker and his wife and the witch that curses them. Streep is in talks to play the witch.
And in sad Streep news, the much rumored film Mommy & Me starring Streep and Tina Fey about a daughter who loses her job and has to go home to live with her mother will not be happening anytime soon.
