Three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep is in London to launch her latest film - a musical fairytale co-starring James Corden, Johnny Depp and Anna Kendrick.

Among the stars expected to attend the central London screening of Into The Woods with her are cast-members Emily Blunt and Tracey Ullman.

The Disney film is based on Stephen Sondheim's musical of the same name which was inspired by well-known fairytales including Cinderella, played in the film by Kendrick, and Little Red Riding Hood.

Corden, who plays the baker cursed by Streep's wicked witch, said his co-star was "amazing" to work with.

He said: "There's nothing you can say about her that hasn't been said.

"As a performer, as an actor, it's incredible but as a person to meet someone who takes the work so seriously, is meticulous about the work, reading it, re-reading it, doing it, is so serious about it as a piece and yet takes herself not seriously one bit makes the whole experience such fun".
