Who's up Rob Marshall has recruited an all-star cast for his fairy tale "Into the Woods": Johnny Depp, Meryl Streep, Chris Pine and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Who's down Jonathan Demme's "Old Fires," with Jason Segel, Bryan Cranston and Jennifer Ehle, has been put on hold; his last project, "11/22/63," died when he and author Stephen King clashed.
