Does anyone think this will happen?! If yes, when??

Or do people even want it to happen?! I would love for it to be made. Although I'm not sure who I would want as my dream cast?!?

Watch out: People are going to kill you now. :|

And I don't know when this will come out, this has been a on and off thing ever since the Broadway show opened. This could take as long as the Les Mis and POTO movies.

I think it would be great on the big screen!

There's no doubt in my mind that a Wicked film will absolutely happen eventually, but I don't think it will be for another few years.

Forget the film: They've made that great novel Wicked into a stage musical? I must see this musical, but am surprised i have not read much about Wicked on the boards...

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but the Wicked musical is a total reinvention of the novel. It's almost nothing like the book, so you've been warned.

I really hope we dont have to wait as long for Wicked as people did for the Les Mis. But I suppose we still dont have a Miss Saigon.

I would pick Lea Michelle as Elphaba, however I dont have a clue who should play Glinda.

Lea will play both Elphaba and Glinda, since they are identical cousins.

Meet Galinda, who's got such nice blonde hair
She tosses it back from here to there
But, Elphie's only got the shade
To match her skin - they're both like jade
What a wicked scene.
But they're cousins
Identical cousins and you'll find
They act alike
They dance alike
At times, they even sing alike
You can hit a high C -ah
When cousins
Are both played by Lea

In the immortal words of Dollypop who has been MIA for awhile "Heaven Forfend"

Sounds to British. How about "God forbid"?

Cousins? Very confused!

i was at an event a few years ago where the Wicked producer said they were definitely going to do a movie, but would wait for it until the box office needed a boost - and there was no indication it would be anytime soon.

Lupita for Elphaba

The notion of delaying the movie adaptation until the Broadway box office needed a boost seems unlikely.

If the movie were to be a smash, it could make hundreds of millions. If Wicked sells out on Broadway, it makes a million a week minus however much it takes to keep it up and running.

They seem wholly unrelated. Not to mention, his comment presupposes this movie would be a hit, which is never guaranteed.

Can Lupita even sing?

I really hope they hurry up with this…

Lea Michelle as Elphaba, Scarlett Johannson as Glinda and Justin Timberlake as Fiyero.

I actually think that waiting until the Box Office needs a boost makes sense. That won't be for a LONG time, though.

Anna Kendrick as Elphaba, Kristen Bell as Glinda, J Timberlake or Z Efron as Fiyero.

[WickedGinger]

Posted: 4/15/14 at 8:20am

Do you not think Zac Efron is a bit full of himself?

I really like Anna Kendrick, however would you pick her over Lea Michelle?

I can always think of lots of possibilities for Elphaba, but Glinda. I am not a fan of Kristin Bell.

"I really like Anna Kendrick, however would you pick her over Lea Michelle?"

Is this a trick question?

I don't get the point of the constant fan dream casting for this part or that. It has usually nothing to do with the eventual casting and, I've no doubt, zero influence on the people that make the casting decisions in the first place.

Mel Gibson for Elphaba.

jemjeb2 - it's called fun!!!!

[Elfuhbuh]

Jemjeb, everyone knows the dream casting most likely won't actually happen. But, like WickedGinger said, it's all in good fun, and fans enjoy discussing who they would like to see onscreen in some alternate universe, keeping in mind that the casting directors or whoever is in charge will probably not even read these "suggestions." You don't need to see the point because there is none; it's pure entertainment.
