We've been watching musical or book fans do the same thing to movie-only fans over the last month or so regarding Wicked that comic book fans have been doing to regular civilians for years That is walking around with this shared sense of, "Oh, they have no idea what's coming." It's either a good or bad[...]

Wicked is coming to digital later this month, but that hasn't stopped some of the special features from making their way online Even though the film, which was part one of two, was as soon as the original stage production plus the intermission, there were still deleted and incomplete scenes that didn't make it into[...]

 Wicked is very much still a box office darling and will likely have some awards buzz behind it, but because it is part one of two and the second part is already filmed with a confirmed release date, people are already talking about Wicked: For Good If you thought the marketing cycle for the first[...]

It's safe to say that Wicked is doing well, but one thing that a lot of people who are now obsessed with this film didn't know going in was that it was a Part One of Two However, in a move that should be set in stone, all things considered, for movies that are half of[...]

Wicked felt like it had one of the longest marketing campaigns of the year to the point that the civilians were starting to notice, which really says something How long of a break will we get between the FYC campaign for the first film ending and the marketing for the second film beginning? We're predicting[...]

As she's previously explained during the press circuit for Wicked, star Ariana Grande's path to playing Glinda in the highly anticipated film adaptation was nothing short of a dream come true In fact, the pop star-turned-actress recently shared her dedication and preparation process in a recent Actors on Actors interview with Paul Mescal, revealing just[...]

Are you one of the poor, unfortunate souls who had some amateur theater kids in your Wicked screenings who are singing along to the songs, thinking they can hit the high notes in Defying Gravity through sheer force of will? From the sound of it, there is a decent chance that is the case, and now,[...]

We all knew that Wicked was going to walk away with some awards at the Globes if not other places However, unlike other projects that ended up at the Globes, Wicked has a sequel that is already in the tank and will be here before we know it The second half of the musical is notorious[...]

Wicked is a solidly mediocre musical that fails to justify its runtime, which kneecaps the pacing and, at times, looks oddly fake despite the extensive use of practical effects. Director: Jon M Chu Summary: Elphaba, a misunderstood young woman because of her green skin, and Glinda, a popular girl, become friends at Shiz University in the Land[...]

Chu on the set of WICKED Byline: Giles Keyte/Universal Pictures © Universal Studios All Rights Reserved. Next weekend will be one of the biggest of the year as Universal throws Wicked Part One into theaters and Gladiator 2 also opens. Wicked will surely be the top film, and I will say at $110 million, I don't buy for one second that[...]

When it finally came to the cast for the movie adaptation of Wicked, people weren't going to be happy with whoever got any of the roles Even though Broadway is all about new people coming along to give their own take on roles, there is something about the transition from stage to screen that makes people[...]

Universal has been focusing a lot on the practical elements of Wicked, from the live singing to the sets to the costumes All the way back in April, they brought out the costumes at CinemaCon for everyone to see Now that the movie is in its final weeks, they are apparently going international as the[...]

Wicked: Summary, Cast List, Release Date After two decades as one of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the[...]

Universal continues the massive marketing push for Wicked Now, we're starting to get into the casting because people have seen and heard some of our leading ladies' performances and are making early judgment calls That's not surprising considering how popular the play was; an entire generation spent months trying to sing Defying Gravity like Idina Menzel[...]

Everyone knew that Wicked was going to lean in hard on the "singing live" aspect of the production, and considering we have an entire featurette dedicated to it, that seems to be the case The "singing live" in musicals thing has not really added anything to a production yet, but it has made movies worse[...]

The marketing budget for Wicked must be absolutely insane Universal has been basically low-key marketing this film for the last ten months, but they have really kicked it into overdrive as we head into the final weeks That makes sense since 2024 taught us that having an already shot and edited Part Two doesn't guarantee that[...]
