Kal-El814 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I have never seen Wicked, but I know its rep among musical theater heads is that it falters in the second act. Kinda funny that they're splitting it into two movies with that in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyPiranha Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Seems like a weird choice to consciously hide the fact that this is a musical, especially given that it’s already a famous musical. Didn’t work out great for Mean Girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I’ve seen the Toronto stage production and had Steve(Marcy’s first husband) from Married With Children as The Wizard. Will probably check this out when it hits theatres and treat my mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best3444 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I noticed Ariana right away. She has an amazing voice so it's a good pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely had a moment where I thought “why did they hire this lookalike instead of just getting Grande?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 If you think Grande looks like a different person wait till you see what Cynthia Erivo looks like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Oh, this is based on a musical? Ok. That makes more sense. When I first saw the trailer I had the same reaction as others like this, like Solo or the latest Willy Wonka movie, “who the fuck asked for this?” One thing that came to mind was ‘why do we keep humanizing characters that were only ever meant to be an allegory for pure evil?’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyPiranha Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I think you can make an interesting origin story for a villain, but the villains that have been getting movies recently? Cruella DeVille wanted to skin a hundred puppies for a coat. It’s hard to make an origin for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
