Looks like movie casting is done for Wicked now that Britany wants the role.
Sorry Idina. Britany's way better anyway.

Her name is Britney.
And I doubt this will ever happen.
Can you copy paste? The site won't work for me.
She's the hottest star ever. Anything she wants she gets.
Can anyone say "Oscar"?

A source close to Britney Spears told "The Insider" that the singer is keen to play the green witch in the film version of the hit Broadway musical "Wicked." "[Britney] is obsessed with the musical," the source said. "She listens to the CD all the time in her car. She [even] bought 10 copies of the CD at a mall to give as gifts."
WHAT? You better be joking.
Britney will never get the role, she can't sing it.

Britney singing the WICKED score would be the funniest thing EVER.
Seriously, do you really think she's a box office draw? She may sell cds (even those numbers have gone down) but no one goes to see her in a movie.
No one in their right mind would allow her anywhere near this project.
Oh sure.
And just two years ago you were all screaming at her concert wearing your school girl outfits.
Birtany's a lock. She has it. Deal done. Cry Idina.
You're absolutely wrong, stop sounding so pretentious. A lock? Hardly. I enjoy her performances and her stage presence, but she hardly has enough vocal talent for the role. Come on.
No one has announced a movie version of this yet, and even when it was discussed, didn't someone say they wanted to base it more off the book than the musical? Let's not get too alarmed until the announcement comes that the movie will even be made, which may not be for a long time - despite the success of Wicked. (Phantom? Rent?)
Even then, despite Britney's "draw" they are going to have to cast someone who can at least act the part and sing the score.
There's a movie in the works? More info, please!

Britney can play one witch and then they can get Christina A to play the other, what next Madonna as Morable?

they cant do that brittany could never replace any1 like idina wow is this a joke?
Oh goodness no...
Can we start a petition or something and send it to the studio and beg for her NOT to be in it?
Please, don't let her butcher "Wicked"...
Though I bet the movie people are only seeing $ $, teenyboppers will LOVE it!
NO!
Guys, stop. Relax.
There aren't even movie plans for this show announced yet. There is no cast speculation, there is no projected release date, there is no director, there are no producers. THE FILM IS NOT HAPPENING YET - IT IS SPECULATION.
Britney would never get the role - please, anyone with a brain knows that.
So relax. No petitions necessary.
I cant believe im typing this, but I TOTALLY AGREE with munk. she cant sing it. in your dreams britney. and no one goes to see her movies. plus i heard if therer ever was a movie of the show they put in the women's contracts that they would be given the leads.
*sigh of relief*
eh, don't worry, i'd be too lazy to start a petition anyway...!
Since this was reported on The Insider, this is fact.
So relax. Done deal. Can anyone say "Golden Globe"?
IT's a fact that Britney WANTS the role. I want to bang Jude Law, but it's not a fact that it's going to happen.
And dis gurl can SANG!
She was on Broadway in that musical that starred JLT. I think she was nominated for a Tony.
So there. Ha.
What?
heheh this made my day.
