Chris Pine stars in Into the Woods

Next up for Chris Pine is the movie Into the Woods, which was filmed towards the back-end of last year and will hit the big screen later in the year. Chris has been talking about Into the Woods, admitting that he had a great time filming the movie and has high hopes for the project.

Pine explained, "One of the best experiences to date of my professional life. It's stunning - it's going to look beautiful. Dion Beebe shot it - who shot Memoirs of a Geisha and Collateral. It's shot beautifully. Colleen Atwood did the costume design - Colleen Atwood is Colleen Atwood! It's got Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp and Anna Kendrick - I think it's quite extraordinary. I don't want to jinx anything, but it was so much fun to make - it felt like a real kind of summer stock theatre company coming together and it was just great fun."
