Anna Kendrick plays ‘complicated’ Cinderella in Into The Woods


Anna Kendrick’s Cinderella in ‘Into The Woods’ is different to "most versions" of the character.

The 29-year-old actress stars alongside Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp and Chris Pine in the new Disney adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s stage musical of the same name.

Anna – who’s previously appeared in ‘The Twilight Saga’ – explained: "The character is thoughtful and complicated. You see what happens after she marries the prince, when you start to face problems in seemingly perfect situations.

"The interesting thing about her is she overthinks things. She’s uncertain. We don’t see that in most versions.

"In a lot of ways, I think it’s this incredibly brave story. She’s neglected and abused her entire life. She finally gets love, and it’s not the kind of love she was looking for. And she stands up for herself."

The brunette beauty also revealed she’s decided to take a break from filming movies, telling Marie Claire magazine: "The whole going-movie-to-movie-to-movie thing, I’ve been living that way for three years. I need to be a person and maintain relationships."

‘Into The Woods’ – which also stars British actor James Corden – is released next month.
