Rob Marshall & Disney to Develop Film of Sondheim's "Into the Woods"

To quote the last section of the article:

This is the third major attempt to adapt Into the Woods for the big screen. In 1994 Penny Marshall oversaw a reading with Robin Williams, Goldie Hawn and Cher. Later the film was developed by Columbia Pictures, with director Rob Minkoff attached, and Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan and Susan Sarandon rumored to star.

Yep. I believe it when they actually start shooting. (And, man, do I ever wish we had the “Robin Williams, Goldie Hawn and Cher” version.)
