There is no WICKED movie, right?

After searching imdb.com and this message board I see nothing, yet a certain fool I know insists he saw them taping when he went to Universal Studios last time. Is there is or is there ain't a WICKED movie in production?

This has been brought up before. There is a Big Wicked Banner/Poster on the side of a building in the Universial Studios lot, but it is advertising the Broadway Musical. In fact I saw it when I did the Universal Backlot tour in March 2004.

It sounds like a song by Louis Jordan

Did "Five Guys Named Moe" travel to Broadway?

"Is you is, or is you ain't a movie?"

Yeah, I know that song.

Yeah, at least they didn't call the Broadway show "Universal Studios' Wicked." (Sounds kinda like a theme park ride that way.)

Disney likes to brand their product boldly for all to see.

You can bet money there will be a movie of Wicked some time in the next 10 years.

Wicked was a movie first (well, a screenplay anyway). Universal owns the production rights to the novel, so when Schwartz approached them about turnung it into a musical, they agreed to give it a try.

Hello Everyone,

There will be a WICKED movie coming out in like 2007 or 2008. Since Universal do own the rights and they are also producing partners of the stage version. We will just have to wait and see what happens.

I would LOVE to see a movie on the book... that would be awesome, the book has so much more in it!

I still say Harvey Fierstein would OWN Elphaba. Don't tell me you don't see it.

There was a huge thread on this a while ago.... Reese Witherspoon was quoted saying "I'd love to see a WICKED movie done" (or something to that affect).... which began a ton of rumors (such as Reese herself being Glinda on the bigscreen!) but nobody really had proof... for now everything is JUST rumor! ...go find the post and read it... it was really good and will answer lots of questions.

BTW- I was in Universal Studios (CA) this spring and yes they do have a large poster of WICKED and they do a whole "ta-da" about the Broadway show on their tours... but that is about it! Oh ya... they also have a whole WICKED display in the park (with the "original" green baby and other various props from the show)in a big glass case... it was kinda cool... great to see my fav. show on display for everyone to look at!

also... jovie, do you have any proof that there will be a movie in 07/08 or were you just predicting?

and breedaniel... where on earth did you hear that Demi Moore owned the WICKED rights?

Reese Witherspoon would be awesome as Glinda? That would definitley bring people to the movie theater...Can she sing though?

And does Demi Moore really have the rights?

almostxfamous: I still say Harvey Fierstein would OWN Elphaba. Don't tell me you don't see it.

that made me laugh my guts up just thinking about it!
