Wicked

[Celestial Mosaic]

I’m going to need them to really beef up Jonathan’s role so he can win an Oscar and begin his rise to all out megastar. And I need more of him singing because he has a lovely voice.

If they go based on the plot of the book with the music integrated throughout then I get why it would be two movies, but if it's just a frame for frame immersive recreation of the Broadway show then it should just be one.

 

[Alenko]

No Good Deed is a really good song though.

They will def end part 1 with Defying Gravity. Makes sense since there is also a time jump after that.

Guess they might have written a couple of more songs. In the end people will be hooked after part 1 and run to see part 2 even if it‘s not as good. It‘s all about the money but let‘s see.

I love Wicked, and so it kind of bothers me that when I go to rewatch the films after release, i'm going to have to watch 2 whole movies each time I am in a mood for Wicked.

I still think it will move cause of Avatar 3. Maybe up to November.

I still kinda think she should have got it

 

[jordxn]

Absolutely not. The train wreck that would be her No One Mourns The Wicked…

 

[smellycat]

Absolutely bloody not. Anyone who has seen her in Les Mis will know she doesn’t have the range.

Ariana must have seen me post this because she’s just uploaded this video of her singing Over The Rainbow …



and yeah. I feel like suddenly it makes a bit more sense to me. I was struggling to hear her voice suiting musicals, but girly pop has nailed it.

 

[jordxn]

She’s in her Glinda wig there as well, you can see the blonde at points. Her voice is so versatile, she sounds great singing in that more musical theatre style. She’s also clearly worked hard on her enunciation knowing that was/is a concern many had (not that I’ve ever really had trouble understanding anything she sings!)

 

[Robsolete]

Ariana's vocals have never been any kind of concern. It's the fact that she can't act.

Very much this. She was absolutely awful every time I've seen her act. Just shockingly bad.

But she sounds glorious in that video. Absolutely stunning.

Wicked's sequel The Wizard of Oz

They should have found someone who can act and sign but I guess they wanted the popstar buzz.

Release date moved up (aka they realized going against Avatar was silly)

 

[lushLuck]

Good luck to this alleged multi-part movie. I still won't believe any release date until we're seeing actual footage.

Cool. Now they just need to move it up another year.

Why..is this two films again? I saw the show once and beyond thinking the good songs were good, the plot I remember doesn't exactly scream multi-part epic. If anything, what I remember could be reasonably condensed. I'm actively not looking the plot back up though because...I can't be arsed so maybe I'm misremembering.
