Johnny Depp is going back to familiar territory.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Depp will star in Disney’s film adaptation of the Broadway musical Into the Woods, which involves a cursed baker, fairy tale characters and witches. This is Depp’s first singing role since Tim Burton’s 2007 underrated Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (a film in which he is excellent in).
The film will be directed by Rob Marshall, who worked with Depp on Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. But Marshall did direct Chicago and everyone loved that so we’ll see how this turns out.
