I was just on the Universal Pictures site. At the bottom of thier upcoming movie scroll, they have Wicked! I have been on that site a million times. Never have I seen Wicked at the bottom.

Right...I knew that. I swear I did.

I recognize the addiction to being alive.

Universal Pictures produces the Broadway show, therefore they are publicising it through their website.

They have done it before.

It's not the first time someone has come on here thinking that a WICKED movie is already in the works.

NEEEEEEEEEXT..

It's a link to the stage show website....It's too early for a Wicked movie....IMO.

On the Universal Studios tour in LA, there are wicked billboards all over the place, they have a window of props from the show and pictures, and the trailer is shown on the video screen on the tram ride. It's been there for quite awhile.

They want to turn the novel into a movie - not the musical. It will be a non-musical movie. But it is only planned. Not even in development yet.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

I think that a "Wicked" movie is inevitable, but my guess is that it won't come for another few years.

"They want to turn the novel into a movie - not the musical. It will be a non-musical movie. But it is only planned. Not even in development yet."

Nope. ORIGINALLY they were going to turn the novel into a movie. They even had a screenplay. When Stephen Schwartz approached Universal about turning it into a musical, they scrapped the film plans. At this point, there is no way they wouldn't make the musical into a movie before a straight adaptation of the novel. It just won't happen. The stage musical has been such a success it would be difficult to not do the musical as a film.
