Wicked Movie Question — Page 3

Not exactly who I want to be casted, but what I'm suspecting it to be:

Elphaba- Anne Hathaway(People have been rumoring her for a long time now)
Glinda- Amy Adams(Though she could act circles around this role, she'd be perfect for it)
Wizard- Dick Van Dyke(Who wouldn't want to see this)
Madame Morrible- Meryl Streep
Fiyero- Zac Efron, Chace Crawford, OR Adam Lambert

I'll admit, I wouldn't be suprised if this casting actually happened...

The mum from Sister Sister would be a wonderful Elphaba. Only because I can imagine how wonderful No Good Deed and the end of Defying Gravity would be.

Oooh. Am like the Sara Ramierez idea.... How I wish she would come back to Broadway

People, if they're not even slated to begin pre production until 2016, I can tell you now the girls who will get the roles are still practicing french kissing their pillows at their 7th grade slumber parties as I type this.

The idea that Menzel or Chenoweth would even be considered for these roles is laughable. Even if they both did an amazing indie film where they play white trash carnie transsexual lovers who were murdered just for being who they were, and through their death have taught millions tolerance and acceptance and won Oscars for the parts... THEY ARE TOO OLD FOR THE FILM! They can sell a Broadway show, yes. However this is a different ball game. Marisa Jaret Winokur can be believeable as a 15 year old girl on stage but she's 40! The camera isn't as kind as a seat 20 yards from the stage.

Universal will spend so much money getting this film made when the time comes that they're going to make damn sure they make every penny back and a whole lot more. So if that means casting Miley Cyrus and Kelly Clarkson than you'd better believe that's what they'll do. This is no RENT or even HAIRSPRAY. This is an enormous undertaking that I have no doubt will be a stunning finished product. But to even entertain the idea that either of these women (who I think are both very talented) will be seen in the role is just delusional.

If the movie is really that far off (2016), then just about every name being thrown around now would be too old. Amy Adams would be 42, Hathaway 34. Who knows where her career will take her between now and then, but Diana DeGarmo would be a great Elphaba.

I'd love Jennifer Hudson in the role, actually.

She better get dieting.

To Gobstopper
Hudson plays the same rolls in all her movies because she can't act. Effie is what Hudson is like so she just plays herself over and over . Sorry to bust your bubble.

Jennifer Hudson was nothing like Effie personality-wise. She wasn't just "playing herself" like people claim.

I watched an interview with Kristen Chenoweth and she said shes heard nothing about Wicked becoming a movie besides random rumors

I didn't realise the Wicked Witch of the West was supposed to be a plus size black woman with huge tits. The cost of the Act II dress will make even Schwartz's eyes water.

Keep going, love, your stupidity and racism wouldn't hurt a real artist, anyhow.

Hudson deserved that Oscar. Her performance was heartbreaking as Effie.

I'd love for her to play Elphaba. She's so talented.
