Wicked movie cast

Yesterday (april fools day) Broadway.com posted that Angelina Jolie, and Reese Witherspoon were to star in the movie musical of Wicked. Obviously this is a load of bunk, however I've had the idea on my mind and have wondered who would be good if and when they make Wicked into a movie. It'll be a long time until that happens though....
My Dream Cast:

Elphaba: Me ha! (I know, I know)
Galinda: Reese Witherspoon (ironically she was my choice before broadway.com's little joke
Fieyro: Heath Ledger (droool)
Boq: Elijah Wood (can't ague with that!!!)
Nessa: Natalie Portman or Keira Knightley
Madame Morrible: Judi Dench
Wizard: Joel Gray (he does movies and broadway, duhh)
Dr. D: Liam Neesion

Umm yea, out of those I think Elijah Wood as Boq is the best. Boq's my favorite character too.

Those are VERY good choices. But there's only one problem: Can they sing?

---

Did any of you hear Elijah on SNL? He played Boy George during a segment and he sang, he actually was pretty good. Reese might be able to be taught...she'd be perfect though, she has that type/or at least can act that type of personality

great choices!!!

---

Heath sang in the movie '10 Things I Hate About You'. He was quite good, I thought.

I think Bette Middler would make a good Madame Morrible

How about this cast:

Elphaba: Indina Menzel
Galinda: Kristin Chenoweth
Wizard: Joel Gray

I like my choices better.

About the movie, is it based off of the musical or the book? If it is based off the book, it will be nothing like the Broadway show at all.

well my pick for fiyero is adam! but since its a movie he'd prolly be to old to play a college student if the rest of the cast is Reese and the others. not that he is OLD but he is no college kid! Stage is diff when u dont have to be the exact age of the person ur playing. Plus he has to good of a voice for only two songs!!

How about Taye for him (if we are not considering age anymore) he made his name in the movie world and can do the part!

Elijah would be perfect as Boq .. and he can sing! i saw SNL of him too, really impressed w/ the voice. Not broadway material .. but good enough to be in a movie version of a show w/ work and practice

I say give every role in Wicked to Eddie Murphy

Umm yea, if you wanna say something mean and nasty go say it on the mean and nasty thread that I'm gonna start *winks*

Kristen Chenoweth does do movies and TV and is fairly....popular (haha I made a funny) in those. She might get cast as Galinda in the movies

give 'em hell, all!

and in response to nystateofmind, could al perhaps have clicked on this topic thinking, god forbid, that it was a thread about an actual movie possibility? i mean with universal as a producer of the show, it's not a great leap to assume that they might try to milk this property for all it's worth by slapping it up on the silver screen. granted, it would be an abyssmal idea and a catastrophic failure, but that's neither here, nor there.

i myself envision a saturday morning cartoon, after all that's pretty much what this show is anyway. that way they can keep the helium voiced blonde bobble head since no one on earth can simulate that nails on chalkboard style of hers.

Thank you Papaloves. Some will never learn. I like your idea best of all.

I'm sitting here listening to Idina's "Still I Can't Be Still" CD- and she reminds me a lot of Alanis Morrisette...
