Trailer Tuesday: Into the Woods (2014)

Image: teaser-trailer.com

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited for this one. 

The new Into the Woods trailer was released last week and it looks magical.

Into the Woods is Stephen Sondheim's musical take on the Brothers Grimm fairy-tales. Winning Tony Awards and Oliviers for both its original productions and revivals, the musical is highly popular and adored across the world. Fans, including myself, have been eagerly anticipating a first glimpse of the film. 

Directed by Chicago (2002) director, Rob Marshall, the movie has one of the best ever casts: Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine (looking very charming indeed), James Corden, Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp.  

The set design and special effects certainly look impressive. Above all though, I'm excited to see the songs and story brought to the screen. It's ticking all the right boxes, so hopefully it will live up to the hype and expectation.

Into the Woods will be released in the UK at Christmas.

Check out the trailer below:

Your Response: Best Dance Sequence in a Film

Last week I listed my Top Ten Dance Sequences in a Film and asked you to tell me your favourites. 

Here are the suggestions that were sent in...

Bring It On (2000)

If you've seen this film, you've most probably re-created this opening sequence dozens of times. Oxford University's very own cheerleading squad, the Oxford Sirens, have gone for the rather appropriate teen classic Bring It On. 

Chicago (2002)

Full of murder, sex and jazz, Chicago is one of the top film musicals in recent history. Cell Block Tango is where Roxy is introduced to the rest of the murderesses at Cook County Jail, all insisting that each of their victims "had it comin'". Other dance sequences in Chicago that are worth watching are Nowadays (Finale) and I Can't Do It Alone. 

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)

Shocking as it is, I have never seen this film. But after watching this dance sequence I will definitely make the time to watch it on a Sunday afternoon. The barn-raising dance is awe inspiring with its ridiculously complex choreography by Michael Kidd. It is certainly one of the best.

Swing Time (1936)

As Lucy said in her tweet, no list could be without Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers. With so many dance sequences to choose from, it's a hard choice. I've gone for Swing Time. It is still as popular today as it was back in 1936, with over 5 million views on YouTube.

Billy Elliot (2000)

Chosen by my uni friend, Kate, this is the moment where Billy is caught ballet dancing by his dad, who strongly opposes it. Yet, Billy decides to carry on and shows off his raw talent and passion for dance...

Love Actually (2003)

Who doesn't love Hugh Grant shaking his hips as the PM?! Just so long as we never see David Cameron doing this, we're ok.

Thank you to everyone who submitted their suggestions. 

Can you think of any more?
