Into the Woods Casting: Good News

Lilla Crawford

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about how inappropriate I thought the casting was for Little Red for the movie version of Into the Woods, because of her young age. 

I am happy to say that 10 year-old Sophia Grace Brownlee will not be playing Little Red. Instead, 12 year-old Lilla Crawford (she recently played the title role in Annie on Broadway) has been cast. I still think that 12 is a bit too young for the part of Little Red, however, it's much better than ten. We'll see how it works out when the movie comes out in December 2014.
