Wicked: The Movie ... Coming Soon To A Theatre Near You!

I really hope they don't use 2 different actress for each Elphie and Galinda, but I've heard that they're thinking of doing that :look:
 
I haven't seen the musical, but I loooove the soundtrack, especially For Good, so I definatly want a movie :nod: :D
 
I am sooo for this movie being made IF Kristin and Idina are cast... if not... I just don't know if I want to see it.
 
There has been talk for a while about the movie....nothing as serious as this though. I know in the previous talks there were rumors that if Cheno said no, then Reese Witherspoon would be cast.....
 
Nothing new so far.... :(

I guess it'll be a while before this really gets buzzing. The Los Angeles production of WICKED the musical is wrapping up in January 2009 then heading up north to San Francisco. I have a feeling the movie won't get made until the touring productions die down which, based on its humungous popularity, won't be any time soon. :shrug:

But I will definitely keep an eye out and post any bit of info that I find. I guess I'll just bump this thread for the sake of bumping it, lol! :lol:
 
no i dont think anyone else could!
they both look great, and both of them still have AMAZING voices!
 
I don't think it'd be the same without them. I mean, no one else could do 'Defying Gravity' justice, imo.
 
I agree that other Glinda's seem to be over the top. I love Cheno a lot and think she brought a lot to the role but my favourite Glinda has to be Dianne Pilkington, especially now she's lost the chipmunky voice. I also love Helen Dallimore.. I can't stand Annaleigh though..

My favourite Elphaba has to be Alexia Khadime (current London cast), she's very Idina-like and has a fantastic voice on her. She also plays the part totally different from any other actress I have seen. Kerry Ellis is good, although I think she's a little weak with her acting. I like Idina but she's very hit and miss with her voice. A friend of mine seen Idina in London about10 times and said she only hit the notes in Defying Gravity twice..

I really think they'll cast either unknowns or big Hollywood names like they did with Mamma Mia. Idina and Kristin would be a little bit older when the film eventually gets made and I dont think they could carry off "being teenagers" anymore. Also I think Universal would want the film to be a commercial success and although Idina and Kristin have done some films/tv work, I wouldn't say they're huge stars... meh, we shall see.
 
I think some of the current Glinda's are just too over the top. Cheno knew how far to take something to make it hilarious but never over the top like the current Glinda's....

I've seen the Broadway show 4 times (I'll be seeing it two more times the first week of October) and I've loved the 2 Elphie's I've seen so far. And only loved one of the Glinda's I saw.

It'll be interesting to see who eventually gets cast. I'm sure they will try and get Idina and Cheno....
 
OMG! I would :love: for this to happen!! :yay: It made my day seeing this thread. :sigh:
 
I will stand in line RIGHT NOW! hehe
you just made my day! i was having such a bad day and now this! YAY
 
I'm really looking forward to a Wicked movie :D I hope Idina, Kristin, and Norbert will be in it, but if not, I hope great people are chosen :nod:
