We reaaallyyyy hope this happens!

Chris Pine and Jake Gyllenhaal are in talks to join Disney’s adaptation of Into The Woods! What’s more, they’d be taking up their first singing roles as the musical’s charming princes! They’ve reportedly already auditioned with director Rob Marshall and are nearing deals!

While these two are practically royalty in our eyes, this would be AH-MAZING! Not to mention that they’d be joining the project alongside Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep!

For those of you who don't quite speak Broadway, Into The Woods puts its own twist on traditional fairy-tales. Think Once Upon A Time with Rapunzel, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and an evil witch in musical form!

HELLOOOO!!!! We're SO on board with this!

Give it a listen (below)!

Stephen King may be known best for his truly terrifying stories, but something tells us this is NOT the way he had hoped to scare anyone EVER!

A TV adaptation of the author's sci-fi/horror tale Under the Dome is currently in production in Wilmington, North Carolina, and apparently, the CBS show's crew neglected to inform an elementary school a few hundred yards away from their set that they were filming a scene that involved a fake gunfight!

So when shots rang out, the
