Posted: 10/31/07 at 11:46pmI was looking through wikipedia.org and I found out that a motion picture is set to release in the fall of 2010, with Anne Hathaway and Mandy Moore? Now I don't know if this is right, so someone can tell me if its true, before I get my hopes up. Also there is going to be a Mexican version?wth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted: 11/1/07 at 12:27amwikepedia is a lie.. dont believe anything you read on that sight.. And no, currently there is no movie planned, although, once the box office settles down on Broadway in another ten years, then they will make a movie...

Posted: 11/1/07 at 12:31amUm, I'm pretty sure there is a movie and that it's out on dvd. The other night I was at my friend's house and we watched it. Idina and Kristen were both in it. They shot the movie like a play, which was kind of cool.

Posted: 11/1/07 at 12:34amIt came out last Friday. Where have you been? Broadwayworld had exclusive videos and everything. I can't believe the digital anti-aging technology they used to make Idina and Kristin look like college age students! Plus, Carol Channing was a hoot as Madame Morrible.

I must admit I was quite pissed off with the stunt casting.

Yeah, that was a poor choice. Especially when he just stopped singing in the middle of "A Sentimental Man" and just started making nervous noises and saying "I... gee... just... oh jeez..." for five minutes. But Sasha Baron Cohan as Fiyero worked pretty well. He rapped all of "Dancing Through Life" quite effectively! And Zac Efron really made Dr. Dillamond into a fully-fleshed out character.
But speaking of shocking situations, can you believe they cut "Defying Gravity" and put it over the end credits sung by Celine Dion? That was so unexpected!

Posted: 11/1/07 at 9:27amI thought Dakota Fanning was terrific in Glinda's childhood flashback scenes. However, I didn't buy J-Lo & Mark Anthony as Nessarose & Boq.

Posted: 11/1/07 at 9:38amActually this movie has been on the directors list with the studio for the past 16 months.The film WILL be made but not until the time is right

That's true, bu it's for the sake of mocking the OP, who clearly hasn't heard it before. So it's always new! Besides, the details vary each time.
Signed,

I heard that America Ferrara is in talks to star as Elphaba (Elfaba in Spanish) for the Mexican Premiere cast and tonight's WICKED infused episode on UGLY BETTY was part of a negotiation agreement between Universal Pictures, Marc Platt and ABC Television in order for America to star in the first spanish-language production of WICKED (to be titled: BRUJAS: El Musical).
Also in talks is Thalia for G(a)linda and Mexican theater grande diva Silvia Pinal and Anjelica Maria alternating evening and matinees performances in the role of Madama Morible (Silvia for evening shows; Anjelica for matinee shows).

wow, very surprising the ignorance on the board. OP had a ?, why dont we try answering the question asked and stop pouncing on that person. Its time to grow a little people. Just a little.
On another note, Mandy Moore would be an excellent choice however wickipedia is not a good source for valid information.

Posted: 11/1/07 at 2:54pmRenthead2...did you notice the OP hasn't come back to this thread since it started? I'm thinking it's what they call a sock puppet.
