Chris Pine to Join Depp & Streep in Musical ‘Into the Woods’

On Tuesday, I reported that Chris Pine was set for a Smokin’ Aces reunion with director Joe Carnahan, and now there is word of yet another project drawing Captain Kirk’s attention. Following a mega 2013 which features the releasing of Star Trek Into Darkness and Jack Ryan, the actor is set up to join a big screen musical called Into the Woods opposite Johnny Depp, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Meryl Streep. This project has been percolating for a while now with Chicago director Rob Marshall set to direct this $100 million production. The goal is to capitalize on Les Miserables’ recent boost to the genre.
