New featurette for "Into the Woods"

Yesterday a sort of "making of" featurette was released for Into the Woods. 



The film continues to slay at the box office.  In its second weekend it grossed another $19 million for second place, and currently stands at about $92 million domestically.

 BAFTA nods come out on Friday and I'm not optimistic for Meryl, although Emily Blunt may have a good shot at a lead nom.  If either of them happens to pick up a Golden Globe Award this weekend, it could obviously boost the box office draw.

  1. Meryl will be on Graham Norton this Friday...she is is over there now marketing the movie so maybe it will help BAFTA nom... Either way Oscar nom #19 will still happen

    1. I hope you're right about BAFTA, but I imagine the voting will be complete by the time Meryl has any effect on voters by being over there. Regardless I'd be really surprised if she got the nod.

    1. I think they got into good habit of nominating Meryl again from the Hours through to The Iron Lady. Then when she won in 2012 they chose Emma Thompson and Amy Adams over her last year. I know Meryl is very well liked by the UK public and I am hoping that she will get another nomination for her wonderful work. I also very much hope Into the Woods will be a big hit here.
