Billy Magnussen, who is currently nominated for a Tony for dancing in his underpants opposite Sigourney Weaver in Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, and even more impressively the recipient of an awesomely gratuitous gratuitous post here at MNPP back in March, is in talks to top replace Jake Gyllenhaal as one of the princes in the adaptation of Stephen Sondhiem's Into the Woods, which Jake just dropped out of last week so he could make that journo-gone-bad movie Nightcrawler. (thanks Mac) The other prince part is supposed to be played by Chris Pine. I assume this will make people who give a shit about musicals happy, right? Casting a tried-n-tested stage fellow instead of just A Name.

I think it would be great. He's definitely on the ascent but rather than just small movie roles here and there until the next thing comes along he jumps from medium to medium. Maybe that's where the work is being offered but he seems to be trying for a more varied career than a lot of other young actors.
