The first photo of Meryl Streep's portrayal of The Witch in the film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's "Into the Woods" has arrived and it's actually pretty scary. The movie, based on a Broadway play, intertwines the many Grimm fables, as The Witch interacts with famous fairy tale characters, in an effort to teach them lessons.
The cast for the movie is rather impressive, with Anna Kendrick as Cinderella, Chris Pine as Prince Charming, Emily Blunt as The Baker's Wife and even Johnny Depp as The Big Bad Wolf.
"Into the Woods," directed by Rob Marshall, is in theaters December 25.

This Christmas, cinephiles everywhere await the unwrapping of their most eagerly anticipated present: Quentin Tarantino’s new film, Django Unchained. After his last revisionist masterpiece, Inglourious Basterds, the 49 year-old auteur decided to go after yet another genre ripe for re-exploration and deconstruction: the western. From all the promotional material we’ve been given so far, it looks like the world is about to receive another classic to add to Quentin’s practically unflappable canon.
But, what should be next for the fanboy-turned-creative genius? What other cinema tropes and trappings can he mix together in his melting pot of bloody brilliance? We present to you a list of ten genres Quentin Tarantino should attempt to tackle after he’s done giving us the spaghetti western we didn’t know we needed. As one of the director’s muses once famously quipped, “Hold onto your butts.”

Red Riding Hood (Blu-Ray/DVD Combo)Warner Home Entertainment2011/Rated PG-13/Running Time 100 minsList Price: $35.98 -- Now AvailableThere's no doubt that the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood has had a touch or eroticism beneath its fairy tale surface. The Big Bad Wolf disguises himself as the heroine's grandma and waits for his prey in bed. Symbolically, it’s a story about sexual conquest and the temptations of the unknown which in this case await the title character in the savage woods. Director Catherine Hardwicke, no stranger to supernatural erotic tales having directed the first Twilight feature seems focused on exploring love, danger and repressed sexuality amongst the teen crowd. In a PG-13 fashion of course. Red Riding Hood makes a number of nods to the classic fairytale, but ultimately shifts its story towards violence and sex with a poorly developed story and characters.Amanda Seyfried, the up and...

It is only recently that I've gotten deeper into graphic novels. I was put off by the superhero genre because I never knew where to start, and the mythology seemed to complex and everchanging to keep up with. Yet, I soon discovered that there were awesome graphic novel series that were encapsulated -- short runs with incredibly stories. I started with Jhonen Vasquez, but soon branched out to Preacher, Watchmen, Sandman, and eventually Y: The Last Man and Runaways. And yet, my favorite quickly became Fables.
Fables dabbles in the realm of fairy tales, building a brutal and graphic legend off the original stories. The Fables -- our heroes -- have been forced out of the lands of their stories by a dire force called The Adversary, forced to live among humans in secret. All the characters are there, mixing Grimm with Goose with Scherazade effortlessly. But they've been radically...

Leonardo DiCaprio's production company Appian Way is developing a gothic reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood. David Leslie Johnson, Frank Daabont's former assistant and screenwriter of the recently cult horror film Orphan, has been to pen the script. The project is being developed by Appian, but not as a acting vehicle for DiCaprio. I'm sure the film's title will probably be a play on the original title like, "Little Red", "Red Riding Hood", or "The Big Bad Wolf". Not much is known about the new take, other than it will be loosely based on the famous fairy tale. The story has changed many times over the years, and is best known in the Brothers Grimm variant. But earlier versions were much darker, the earliest printed version from the 17th century ended with Riding Hood being slaughtered by the wolf. Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia: "The story had as...
