I also think it’s safe to start assuming Zegler will land either Glinda or Elphaba in the upcoming film adaptation of WICKED.

That's an... intersting casting choice.

Is it? I think it’s quite a dull and uninspired casting choice.

Greta Gerwig is writing the script now.

This is one of the live action  film remakes I am most excited about, as well as, it's casting.   I hope they will keep the original songs and the new pasek and Paul songs sound like they belong together in the same universe.  Hopefully we will get a trailer sometime soon!

Can’t wait for the film. I think Zegler will sound incredible on that soundtrack.

Honestly not sure how to feel about this, with all the discussion that has gone around about the dwarves.  This picture just seems...strange

Interesting they’ve also pushed back the release date an entire year.

I was scared it would be delayed but not this long. But the more time to revision it the better.

It has a real... Tom Hanks Pinocchio energy. I feel like Disney consistently underestimates how much people hate the CGI in these live action remakes.

To be fair to Disney, Lion King and Jungle Book were entirely CGI and massive hits. Mermaid probably 50%.

That said, that picture screams flop.

They’re obviously listening to people’s criticisms and attempting to change parts of the film, so they should be applauded for that.

Is that an official photo?

It's better than before, the characters are dwarfs. But I do not understand this decision. This would have been a wonderful chance to give 7 talented dwarf actors the role of a lifetime. I know many suitable actors who dedicate their lives to this craft. Why slap them in the face again? Is Disney's standpoint "if our diverse bunch of magical creatures can't play the parts, nobody will"? Is animation the only way to be able to tell a story authentically nowadays, because of affectation?

Also, the quality of cgi animation is still not on a professional level in general. It looks kind of weird and cheap, even in The Little Mermaid they couldn't make it look right and organic. It doesn't come close to the fluidity and feel of 2d.

I can imagine they will have to re-shoot a lot of scenes, basically the whole movie. It's all  very interesting and I wonder what Zegler will say about all this in the promo tour.

I wasn’t a fan of that one. But I hope to be of this remake

I remember seeing Rachel perform at a charity event - think it was Broadway Backwards- she was wonderful.

Apparently, Disney execs are furious over the recent South Park "Panderverse" episode.  So much so, they sicced their lawyers on Matt and Trey.  They couldn't make any headway, though, "fair use" being "fair use."
