The trailer for Into the Woods, the movie adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s 1987 Broadway musical, has released its first trailer – which doesn’t feature any singing.

'Into the Woods' Trailer

The Into the Woods trailer introduces the story's many characters, including Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford), Cinderella (Anna Kendrick), Cinderella’s Prince (Chris Pine), The Baker (James Corden), The Baker’s Wife (Emily Blunt), Rapunzel (Mackenzie Mauzy) and the Evil Witch (Meryl Streep).

Little Red Riding Hood skips into the forest, Jack climbs the beanstalk, Rapunzel lets down her long hair, Cinderella gets her glass slippers and The Wolf (Johnny Depp) terrorizes from afar.

Throughout the trailer, all of the characters say “I wish,” which is followed by a caution on the screen that reads, “Be careful what you wish for.”

The Evil Witch’s advice: “Go to the woods!”

Into the Woods, directed by Rob Marshall from a book and screenplay by James Lapine, hits theaters Christmas Day.
