British actor James Corden, who recently found success in America by starring alongside Keira Knightley in Begin Again, discussed his latest movie Into the Woods on The Picture Show last week.
The movie is a clever and modern take on the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tales. The musical follows the tales of Cinderella, (Anna Kendrick), Little Red Riding Hood, (Lilla Crawford), Jack and the Beanstalk, (Daniel Huttlestone), and Rapunzel (MacKenzie Mauzy), intertwined with an original story involving a baker (James Corden) and his wife. (Emily Blunt).
(Cert PG)
Meryl Streep plays the Witch, a powerful sorceress that has placed a curse on a baker's family, and received an Oscar nomination for her role. Into the Woods also received two other Oscar nominations for production design and costume design.
James joined Philip Molloy on The Picture Show to talk about his blossoming Hollywood career, his new American talk show and why his sports panel show A League of their Own is not going anywhere.
