In Into the Woods, a witch's curse condemns the Baker and his Wife to a life without children. They embark on a quest to find the four items required to break the spell: the cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the hair as yellow as corn, and the slipper as pure as gold. Will they succeed? And what happens after 'happily ever after?'

In January 2012, it was reported that Rob Marshall was attached to direct a film adaptation for Disney. James Lapine was said to be at work on the screenplay, which would feature new songs by Stephen Sondheim.

Unlike what happened (or didn't happen) when there had been announcements in the past that a film version of the show was under consideration, this time a film would be made, although the new song that Sondheim wrote for the film would not be included, nor would several other songs that Sondheim had written for earlier attempts to make a film.
