There are no plans to turn the MUSICAL into a film. There was talk of turning the BOOK into a film in 2003. Nothing since then.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

i agree mostly with the first one Elphaba: Idina (most def.) Glinda: Kristen Chenoweth (a must again) Fiyero: Norbert prolly...idk who else...joey macentire (sp) was good 2 i must say Madame Morrible: Carole (or i can see Glen Close 2) Wizard: I liked the idea of Victor Garber (sp?) or the orig. Joel Grey he was amazing Boq: i've always thought Elijah Wood was exactly like him
this is providing the 2 or 3 that weren't in the acutal musical can sing but truthfully, as much as i would love 2 see Wicked over and over again (only with Idina tho...yes im biast heh) i'm not so sure they should turn it into a movie...
Elphaba: Roseanne Glinda: Anna Nicole Fiyero: Jonathan Taylor Thomas The Wizard: John Goodman Madame Morrible: Kirstie Alley Nessarose: Mary Kate and Ashley Olson Boq: Haley Joel Osment
Elphaba: Idina Menzel Glinda: Jennifer Laura Thompson or Megan Hilty Fiyero: Matthew Morrison Nessarose: Michelle Federer (perfect Nessa) Boq: Chris Fitzgerald
I dunno, sticking with mostly the actual casts here, except for Matt. They have excellent casting over at Wicked on Broadway - I think they offered the part to Matt, anyways. If he woulda took it once Norbert left, my dream cast would've been there.
I'm sure the MUSICAL will be turned into a MOVIE at some point. Universal Pictures is one of the show's major financial backers and producers. They hold the movie rights. When they'll do it is another matter.

But I hope you will have a chance to see it on stage before that, either on Broadway or if the touring company comes to a theatre closer to where you are. Sincerely, Stephen Schwartz” SS Forums
NO CELEBRITY WANNABE SINGERS! NO ANNE HATHAWAY, NO MARY KATE OR ASHLEY OLSEN... k? Great
On a lighter note, I would love to see most of the originals becuase I know a lot of people didn't get the chance to see Wicked with all the original cast, so I think that it would be a great chance for people to see them.

Lea S. Hugh J. Adam P. Idina M. Matt M. Taye D.
Elphaba- Stephanie, Saycon or Eden Glinda- Kristin or JLT Nessa- Jenna or Michelle Fiyero- Norbert or Adam Pascal (I always thought he could do well in the role...) Boq- Christopher (or Elijah Wood if he can sing :-P) Wizard- Joel Grey Morrible- Carole
I wanted to get something that an "ex"-junkie like him would really appreciate and cherish....it's a brick of heroin shaped like a heart.

I love the idea of Anne Hathaway as Nessa! She would be perfect. (And she isn't a "celebrity wanna-be singer"- she did musical theater before she did movies.)
Other than that, I don't care as long as Idina and Kristin are in it!
