>Mike Leigh
>Directing Wicked
atleast have dreams that seem possible

>tfw still gonna be here, unchanged

I have no idea who >MULTICULTURALISM has to do with this.

i would prefer if they adapted the novel without singing in it so then it could be actually good. not that i don't like musicals but screen musicals are lame

>Who should be cast?
Why not the play cast?

What about it?

No one because Wicked is a shit musical.

SamBarks Elphie blease

Quints reveal the truth

Because box office draw

Because Kristin Chenoweth looks like she's been embalmed now.

Considering both she and Idina Menzel are in their mid to late forties, it might be time to bring in some new blood.

Adele Dazeem, since she pretty much starred in the original.

A moment of a silence for the dead meme

shit, solid cast actually

>leave wicked witchkino to me

>not just going with the old cast
KChen is better than all those whores

Also Krager's taste in women BTFO

cait jenner already did this show

Can see this.
Would be okay with/10
>not just going with the old cast
First thing I thought.

The last time someone was autistic enough to go with the original cast was Rent. It was a fucking train wreck.

It will be a bunch of unknown Bongs

That's because Rent itself is angsty pseudo-intellectual trash.

Good thing Wicked is fucking awful and there is no way they could possibly make it worse.

>Sup Forums has already forgotten about Liz

Idris Elba as the Wizard
Leslie Jones as Elphaba
Amy Schumer as Glinda
Michael Pena as Fiyero

directed by Paul Feig

Don't give a fuck as long as they can sing

Why not just get the Broadway cast? I bet Meryl Streep plays someone

right? why are we even talking about a film that is still 3 Avengers movies away?

Came here just to post this, dude's a based actor and can play any role. Based. Based. Based.

Idina Menzel could do it, she'd be covered in fucking green makeup anyway, right?

everyone has AIDS

They are all old and no star power

This same with Hamilton

>WICKED adaptation has official release date
>still no Avenue Q movie

Idris Elba as Elphaba
John Boyega as Glinda

Thank me later.

Made for Ratfu.

>this is now a Ratfu thread.

Nigger, anythings possible. The fangs of Hollywood can drive into anyone's neck. No one is safe.

awful post

It's going to happen just face it

Eww no, that sucked balls

The source material was trash, the actors weren't the problem.

No oscar potential or box office hit, she wouldn't do it

She can pick a million movies to do, doubt she waste time with this

>No oscar potential
certainly not an oscar win, but still a potential nomination if the movie isn't shit, and it's a guaranteed golden globe

>or box office hit
the play is probably the biggest hit musical of all time

Witch needs to be a fat black man.

I really hope that the director decides to bring Wicked back down to its original concept, away from what it's become in recent years, with a handful of exceptions. The first act is most significantly effected by this.

Act I Galinda went from a posh, snobby young woman with a penchant for silliness on one night when she's giddy on champagne and excitement into a spastic retard who does random kicks/tics, make weird noises, does splits, and other bizarre things constantly just to get the audience laughing. Act I Elphaba went from a jaded, sarcastic figure into a plucky, spunky go-getter who gosh darn it is gonna show these Shiz University kids what for!

>Mike Leigh directing
Something about this is hilarious

>the play is probably the biggest hit musical of all time
That rarely ever means anything, see Phantom of the Opera, Rent, etc

Phantom of the Opera and Rent were total shit though, even worse than their source material

Look at Chicago for what a musical movie can do at the box office if it's actually a halfway decent film

Damn son

Meryl Streep should be the Wizard

>pic dimensions
bruh

oh fuck off I wanted to direct Wicked.

If they don't pick me (an autistic nobody with illusions of grandeur) to direct the Assassins adaptation I'll an hero myself.

Spike Lee probably has dibs on adapting Hamilton.

FUCKING IMPRESSIVE

>live in shitty 3rd world country
>discover that I enjoy broadway musicals thanks to youtube
>know the lyrics to every song from a bunch of musicals even if I haven't seen any
>whenever they bring musicals to my town it's a shitty version with different lyrics so it makes sense on my language
Does anyone else knows this feel?

nope.

You've got to make the broadway musicals yourself user.

Find some likeminded people, start a group. Community theatre. Microbudget stuff. Bring people together, direct shows how you want to see them made.

>Who should be cast?

What's really weird is that Disney has the rights to Wicked, had a blockbuster with Frozen (featuring Idina Menzel, the original Elphaba), and is moving ahead with a live action version (because they've had so much luck adapting fairy tales like Alice, Through The Looking Glass, right?), instead of pic related with the original Broadway cast doing the voices...wtf.

I'll never understand Hollywood.

i really knocked this one out of the park

I was like you until I decided to save some money for a while and could afford to travel to New York, had the opportunity to watch Kinky Boots and Lion King, it was worth it.
If you have a job, I recommend you to start saving, if you like musicals it's worth it, believe me, nothing like seeing one live at broadway.

Disney doesn't have the rights to Wicked. Universal does. That's why Disney did Oz the Great and Powerful, to try to create their own Oz universe.

and Universal just bought Dreamworks Animation

Oh my

Best Glinda prove me wrong

>Wicked
>Dreamworks
>ends with dance party

NOooo

You guys know this is gonna go the way of Into The Woods and lose any and all symbolic and thematic elements in favor of making it an FAMILY MUSICAL EXPERIENCE :)

The musical was baller as shit.

They want the Frozen audience.

Wicked had no symbolic or thematic elements, so nothing to worry about.

fuck idina. willemijn should do elphaba's singing
